EVALUATIVE EXPRESSIONS IN THE PERSIAN LANGUAGE AND THEIR TRANSLATION (BASED ON ZOYA PIRZAD’S NOVEL I’LL TURN OFF THE LIGHTS)
Abstract
This article analyzes elements of ta’arof in the Persian language and their representation in the process of translation into Uzbek. The novel I’ll Turn Off the Lights by Zoya Pirzad was chosen as the object of the study, with a comparative analysis of ta’arof expressions within the text. The research examines communication and greeting styles in both Persian and Uzbek, identifying key challenges in translation and proposing possible solutions. The findings contribute to the theory and practice of translation and help deepen the understanding of intercultural communication.
