Abstract

 This article explores the intricate relationship between idiomatic expressions and cultural values within a multilingual context. It examines how idioms serve as reflections of the beliefs, traditions, and social norms of a culture, and how they can vary across different languages. The study focuses on the ways in which idiomatic expressions convey meaning beyond their literal interpretations, encapsulating the shared experiences and values of speakers. By analyzing examples from various languages, the article highlights the challenges and opportunities that arise in translation and cross-cultural communication. It also discusses the role of idiomatic expressions in identity formation and cultural preservation, particularly within multilingual communities. Ultimately, the article aims to demonstrate how understanding idioms can enhance intercultural competence and facilitate more meaningful interactions in diverse linguistic environments.
