This article discusses semantic features of  idioms (On the example of the works of Murad Muhammad Dust). Idioms are figurative language tools that arise as a product of human thinking. It can be noted that idioms are interpreted in sources as a manifestation of phraseological units. In particular, the French linguist Sh. Bally considers idioms as phraseological units formed on the basis of the addition of words that have lost their semantic meaning, while O.S. Akhmanova interprets them as linguistic units. Explanatory dictionaries of Uzbek linguistic terms also provide similar explanations for idioms.
