Abstract

The article reveals the contents of the words "mehmon" (a guest) and "ziyofat" (treat, regale) as components of the concept Hospitality in Tajik linguistic culture. Through the examples from Tajik literary works, the ethnic specificity of each of the concepts is revealed separately. Synonymous means in the Tajik language prove the active process of understanding lexemes and their extremely high relevance for Tajiks. In the Tajik language, the lexemes "mehmon" and "ziyofat" indicate the attitude of hosts to a guest, where they express, above all, hospitality, hearty welcome, generosity, kindness, an open heart and goodwill. The analysis of the words "mehmon", "ziyofat" reveals the concept of the concept "Mehmondori" (hospitality) in the Tajik language. The traditional and humanitarian role of this concept, which symbolizes the cordiality and peace-loving nature of the Tajik people, is revealed.
