Phraseological units, often perceived as mere linguistic embellishments, are in reality powerful repositories of cultural wisdom, historical experience, and the very essence of human understanding. This article delves into the significance of these units as signposts along life's intricate journey, illuminating how they shape our comprehension of fundamental concepts such as friendship, resilience, and the perennial search for meaning and purpose. By examining a diverse range of phraseological expressions, the study reveals both the universal threads that connect human experiences across cultures and the subtle yet significant variations in how different societies conceptualize and navigate the complexities of the human condition. The analysis encompasses the inherent nature of phraseology, dissecting its core components and exploring its profound reflection of cultural values and societal norms. Special attention is given to family-related idioms, underscoring their unique ability to encapsulate the dynamics, expectations, and emotional bonds that define familial relationships across diverse cultural landscapes. The research aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the richness and complexity of language, highlighting its crucial role in shaping our perceptions and understanding of the world around us.
