Human thinking and speech are closely related. Each nation expresses its thoughts through words. But words are not just a set of sounds, they express a certain meaning, concept, that is, a concept. Each word is associated with a specific image, feeling and life experience in the human mind. Therefore, the language of each nation is a mirror of its spiritual world. The word “concept” is derived from the Latin word conceptus, which means “concept”, “idea”, “content”. It is an important term in linguistics, philosophy and cultural studies. In linguistics, the concept of concept occupies a special place in the study of the relationship between language, culture and thinking. After all, the words in each language show how that nation perceives the world. For example, the word “house” for Uzbeks is not only a place to live, but also a source of family love, peace and tranquility. For the English, “home” means more comfort and a personal area. This example clearly expresses the cultural meaning of the concept - one word evokes different feelings in two cultures.
