Abstract : This study presents a comparative analysis of phraseological combinations in German and Azerbaijani, with a focus on national characteristics. The research examines phraseological units related to human orientation, specifically those reflecting character, cognitive abilities, and worldview in both languages. It identifies complete and partial structural- semantic and functional-semantic equivalents that demonstrate national cohesion within the semantics of these lexical units. The selection of this research object is deliberate, given the high productivity and extensive range of phraseological units. The data for this study were sourced through continuous selection from phraseological dictionaries of the respective languages.

Keywords : Pragmalinguistics, National Cohesion, Mentality, Phraseological Units, İnterpretation.
