- Abstract
The paper is devoted to the identification and interpretation of some common and unique features of the phraseological expressions, or idioms, with numeric component in their formations in the English, Hungarian, and Ukrainian languages. In the course of analysis, various groups of meanings of these numbers found in these units are distinguished which accurately reflect the given nation’s culture, beliefs, identity, mentality, folklore and provide a deeper insight into the link between language and culture. Moreover, the present study further outlines some challenging points for both non-native speakers and translators when dealing with culture-specific set expressions in a foreign language based on semantic and structural differences.
