This article explores the linguistic equivalents of behavioral verbs in Uzbek and English, focusing on how these verbs convey actions, emotions, and states of being within both languages. Behavioral verbs are crucial for understanding the nuances of communication, as they reflect cultural attitudes and social norms. The research aims to identify similarities and differences in the usage, meaning, and connotations of these verbs in both languages. By analyzing a range of behavioral verbs, the study provides insights into the cognitive and cultural frameworks that shape language use in Uzbek and English.
