Idioms jocularly embody the culture of a society. Their interpretation is a puzzling task because they contain multilayered semantics. The objective of the research is to develop adequate models for translating idioms from English into Uzbekistan by employing functional equivalence, Skopos theory, and taxonomy by Vinay and Darbelnet. Under this goal, it investigates common problems: structural, cultural, and semantic, providing context-sensitive strategies like adaption, paraphrase, substitution, and omission. This work’s contribution is showing how a translator can balance idiomaticity and culture while following target language rules.
