Abstract
The paper explores Serbian phraseological units which include a number, with the aim of finding their Hungarian equivalents or, if no equivalent is available, providing a literal translation. In addition, we emphasize certain semantic features of the phraseologisms, on the basis of which we categorise these units. The analysis of the data reveals that while a number of Serbian phrasemes have formally and semantically identical equivalents in Hungarian, there is also a large number of units which have no formal correspondents in Hungarian and semantic equivalence can thus often be achieved by means of lexical modification. The results of the study confirm our preliminary assumption that while there clearly are universal mechanisms at work in phraseology, tradition and culture also play a very important role.
