The article illustrates the semantic properties of semiotic elements (linguoculturemes) in fairy tales of English and Uzbek and also the translation difficulties caused by cultural and linguistic disparity between these two languages. Linguoculturemes are verbal representations of cultural ideas that are so much a part of a nation’s collective consciousness, hence, they show the nation’s worldview, values, and customs. The results indicate that the successful translation of fairy tale linguoculturemes necessitates not just linguistic skill but also profound cultural knowledge and the ability to switch between domestication and foreignization techniques.
