Abstract
Winged expressions have a special place in national and world culture, they are the thoughts of famous philosophers, scientists, writers and statesmen in a polished form. They are considered a meaningful linguistic unit that has been passing from language to language for centuries, decorating our speech. In the following article, we will discuss about meaningful and figurative expressions, i.e. winged expressions, which serve to express various characteristics and situations of a person in a concise form. Even though the understanding of man and his study began a long time ago, it has not yet reached its boundary. Because every person is a different world. One person's character traits, dreams, and opportunities may appear completely different from another person. Winged expressions collected for analysis are semantically divided into internal groups, such as phrasal verbs that generally express personal characteristics, positive character traits, negative character traits, and male-female relationships. The fact that these winged expressions, history of which goes back to ancient times, have been passing from language to language for centuries, enriching our speech, and their incomparable role in expressing various characteristics and situations specific to a person in a concise form, in revealing figuratively, will be explained through analysis.
