Annotatsiya
This article looks at communication styles in English and Uzbek and tries to explain how they are different and similar. In today’s global world, people from different cultures communicate more than ever, so understanding how they speak and express ideas has become important. The study shows that English communication is usually more direct and focused on personal opinions, while Uzbek communication is more indirect and influenced by respect and social norms. It also explains that these differences come from cultural values, such as individualism in English-speaking countries and collectivism in Uzbek society. At the same time, both cultures value respect, although they show it in different ways. The article suggests that understanding these differences can help people communicate better and avoid misunderstandings in real life situations like education, business, and everyday interaction.
