Inglizcha hayvon idiomalarida hayvonning o‘zi haqida gap yo‘q: let the cat out of the bag — sirni tasodifan oshkor qilmoq, the elephant in the room — hamma biladigan, lekin hech kim tilga olmaydigan muammo. Qiziq tomoni, o‘zbek tilida ham hayvonli iboralar ko‘p, ba’zan esa ma’no bir xil-u, hayvon boshqa: inglizlar birds deydi, biz quyon. Quyida 28 ta idioma to‘rt guruhda, har birida ma’no, misol, uslub va o‘zbekcha jufti bor.
Tez yutuq: kimdir sirni aytib qo‘ysa, Oh no, you let the cat out of the bag! deng.
