This article examines the linguocultural, semantic, artistic, and cognitive characteristics of the most frequently occurring metaphorical units in Uzbek folk tales. Folk tales are a genre of folklore that reflects the culture, worldview, national mindset, and moral values specific to a people. In these tales, metaphor serves as a crucial linguistic tool for depicting characters, contrasting good and evil, and conveying concepts such as beauty, courage, happiness, and life’s trials to the reader.
