VOCABULARIES OF CELEBRATION THE HOLIDAYS "MEHRGON" "HALLOWEEN", "SADA" AND "CARNIVAL" IN TAJIK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES
The article discusses the vocabularies for celebrating Mehrgon, Halloween, Sada and Carnival, which they have their origins in Tajik and English. Having been acquainted with the oldest Tajik and English holidays and their sources of origin, it can be said that in the Tajik and English languages there are many lexical units belonging to popular impurities of belief, which some of them are similar and fully consistent, and some of them are quite different. Many English beliefs have to do with general Christian holidays. And such a popular holiday in Great Britain with religious roots as Halloween is not celebrated among Tajiks, and therefore there are no superstitions associated with it. In the Muslim religion, any superstition is considered a sin, because they signify a lack of confidence in divine foresight. It should be added that the similarities and differences of superstitions between the Tajiks and the British depend on how different these two countries had history, background cultural knowledge, how different the territories of residence are. In England, part of the superstitions passed from the peoples who once conquered Britain: the Romans, Celts, Scandinavians, Vikings and even barbarians.
