This article explores politeness strategies in English fiction and their translation into Uzbek from a pragmatic and comparative perspective. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study examines how politeness-related meanings are adapted in translation. The findings reveal that translators frequently employ explicitation and functional adaptation to ensure pragmatic acceptability, resulting in culturally motivated shifts in politeness expression.
