TRANSLATING CULTURAL AND EMOTIONAL ELEMENTS IN O‘TKIR HOSHIMOV’S “DUNYONING ISHLARI”

Abstract

Literary translation is not only the transfer of words from one language to another but also the transmission of cultural identity and emotional depth. O‘tkir Hoshimov’s Dunyoning ishlari is a deeply emotional and culturally rich work reflecting Uzbek family values, motherhood, and everyday life. This article examines the challenges of translating cultural expressions, emotional nuances, and national realities from Uzbek into English. The analysis demonstrates that successful translation requires dynamic equivalence, cultural adaptation, and semantic sensitivity.
