    Annotation This paper focuses on the potential of “down” idioms to express negative emotions in two diverse cultures – Anglo-Saxon and Tatar. English is very idiomatic in its nature giving a plenty of opportunities to its linguistic means to express various abstract phenomena, including psychological ones. Tatar abounds in colorful idioms relating to the emotional disturbances that contribute to the expression of human state in all the shades. The given research presents a comprehensive overview of the interrelation between languages and human mentality in the form of metaphor thinking. To reach the research goals the following methods were employed: comparative, descriptive; contextual analysis, continuous sampling and statistic estimation. Based on the research results, we come to statement of different and common features in the patterns of “down” idioms verbalizing negative emotions in English and Tatar. Bears mentioning the fact, that no other comparative research was undertaken to analyze “down” idioms' potential in verbalizing negative emotions in English and Tatar.
