Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of verbal
communication in Uzbek culture and selected cultures, specifically Japanese and
American. Verbal communication is a crucial element of human interaction, deeply
intertwined with cultural norms, values, and traditions. By examining the distinct
approaches to greetings, feedback, expressions of agreement or disagreement, non-
verbal cues, negotiation, expressions of gratitude, humor, small talk, and decision-
making, this article sheds light on the rich tapestry of verbal communication styles.
The analysis highlights the significance of understanding and respecting these
differences for successful cross-cultural interactions in our globalized world.
