In the modern era of globalization, the English language has become one of the most influential languages in the world. Its impact can be observed not only in education and technology but also in everyday communication. In Uzbekistan, especially among young people, English words and expressions are increasingly integrated into Uzbek daily speech. This phenomenon is known as “anglicism,” which refers to the adoption of English lexical items into another language. The present article examines the hidden presence of English in Uzbek daily communication, identifies the main areas where anglicisms are commonly used, and analyzes their sociolinguistic influence on Uzbek youth culture. The study also discusses the positive and negative consequences of this linguistic interaction. The research demonstrates that social media, technology, entertainment, and globalization are the main factors contributing to the spread of English expressions in Uzbek speech.
