Today, the term "simple speech" is interpreted differently in linguistics. For example, in Russian linguistics, this term is called "просторечие". In this way, it is understood as three components of the non-literary lexical phraseological layer. These components include dialects, jargons and words related to the simple speech of the city. But, the term simple speech that has the characteristic of expressing reality with a low characteristic that deviates from the norms of rougher literary speech. Urban and rural

LITERATURE REVIEW AND METHODOLOGY
Obviously, we use simple speech during the informal speaking or conversations and phrases play an essential role during a conversation. In our daily lives, we use appropriate expressions to express different situations. In phrases related to simple speech, the colour naturalness and simplicity plays a vital role, not the colour of formality. These kinds of phrases help us make our conversation figurative, vivid, impressive and understandable to everyone.
For example, "A drop in the ocean" - "Dengizdan tomchi";
"Burn the midnight oil" - "Tunni tongga ulamoq";
"To be dressed to kill" - "Did bilan yarashtirib kiyinmoq",
"Big shot" - "Katta mavqega ega bo'lmoq" and so on.
Phrases have a variety of relationships between people, such as happiness, confidence, deception, impatience, failure, nervousness and other relationships. These types of phrases are very useful in describing the human conditions.
For instance, the following expressions can be used to describe these kinds of situations.
Happiness-Being extremely happy:
1)"Full of the joys of spring" - " Juda xursand, juda baxtli."
2)"Thrilled to bits" - "Juda xursand bo'lish."
3)"Feel on top of the world" - "Juda xursand bo'lish."
4)"Floating/walking on air" - "Juda xursand bo'lish."
5)"Over the moon" - "Juda xursand bo'lish."
Confidence:
1)"Count on" - "Ishonmoq, suyanmoq."
Deception:
1)"To break the news" - "Sirni sotmoq."
Impatience:

Nervousness:
1)"Blow one's top" - "Tepa sochi tikka bo'lmoq."
Idioms are widely used in books by writers in order to describe the behaviour of characters. Take, for example, "Ufq" trilogy written by one of the greatest Uzbek writer Said Ahmad. In this trilogy, Said Ahmad used the expression "to give up" "Qo'lini yuvib qo'ltiqqa urmoq" to depict the condition of one of the main characters who is called A'zamjon.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A'zamjon qo'lini yuvib qo'ltiqqa urgandi. U hozir alam otashida yonardi. O'zini qishloqda tug'ilib o'sgan qishlog'idan quvilgan hisoblardi.
In this case, the writer used this expression so that he showed the difficulties of A'zamjon after returning home from The Second World War.
Apart from this, he used the phrase "to be disappointed" - "Tarvuzi qo'ltig'idan tushmoq" to depict the situation of Dildor who is the most attractive and beautiful girl among all of girls in the village after an argument with her husband A'zamjon.
Dildor yana ko'chaga yugurdi. Guzarga chiqdi, samovarda ham yo'q. Tanish -bilishlardan so'radi, ko'rdim degan odam bo'lmadi. Birdan Dildorning yuragini vahm bosdi. "Ketgan, albatta, ketgan. Yo frontga, yo cho'lga..."
Uning tarvuzi qo'ltig'idan tushdi. Yuragi siqilib yo'l chetida o'tirgancha qoldi.
In English we use these phrases "to give up", "to be disappointed" as the equivalents of "Qo'lini yuvib qo'ltiqqa urmoq", "Tarvuzi qo'ltig'idan tushmoq."
Phrases can also be studied by categorizing into groups.
In terms of structures, phrases are classified as follows.
1. Comparative expressions are expressions made with like and as.
For example:
1)"As easy as pie" - "Xamirdan qil sug'urganday";
2)"To eat like a bird" - "Juda kam ovqatlanish";
3)"Sick as a dog" - "Juda qattiq kasal bo'lmoq";
4)"Sleep like a baby" - "Juda yaxshi uxlamoq";
5)"To work like a dog" - "Juda qattiq ishlamoq".
Phrases which are made with the denial word "not" - "emas."

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we can say that human language reflects and represents a certain area of the real world not only with the single words or word meanings, but also with the whole system of language in general, interaction of its various levels. The present day any language cannot be considered full of value without idiomatic usage, as the use of phraseological units is the first sign of a certain language developing. Idiomatic sentences enrich vocabulary as well as the correct acquisition of them signals that the speaker knows the language on the level of a native speaker.
