The experiences, values, and worldviews of every person during their life are reflected in the language, and they reflect the social and cultural environment in which they exist. Through language, there are soft, hard, sarcastic, funny and of course soft speech skills, especially women's speech is often expressed by euphemisms - soft or indirect expressions that replace harsher or more direct language. Through these linguistic elements, not only language expressions in speech become beautiful, but also give an understanding of women's social status, cultural norms, their place and expectations in society. This study examines the linguistic and cultural characteristics of euphemisms in women's speech in English and Uzbek, focusing on Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Analyzing euphemisms related to death and illness, the study examines how these expressions contribute to the modulation of emotional affect in English and Uzbek, their interpretation, delivery, and language and communication. The findings show the role of euphemisms in the formation of linguistic politeness, cultural sensitivity and historical discourse, and show their importance in the English and Uzbek socio-linguistic contexts.
