Abstract

This article examines the social and spiritual nature of curses in various cultures, their place in human relationships, and their negative im­pact. Curses often serve as a means of expressing emotional states such as an­ger, hatred, or resentment, and through them a person’s moral level, cultural ma­turity, and social status are reflected. In the process of translating such le­xi­cal units, the translator faces a serious challenge, since creating a character’s portrait requires not only choosing the appropriate linguistic means, but also deeply understanding the character’s emotional experiences, inner world, and attitude toward reality.
