The article dwells on lexico-semantic peculiarities of phraseological units with a piotal component-numeral in Tajik and Russian languages. It is elicited that words with the meaning of number play a great role in the formation of phraseological units. The main attention is paid to correlative analysis of Tajik and Russian phraseological units with a number-component. Designing on the premise of the analysis related to multitude of PhUs, the author comes to the conclusion that Russian phraseology includes a whole number of phraseologisms having very close imagery parallels in the phraseology of the Tajik language; the fact testifying to the closeness of Russian and Tajik peoples. At the same time it is underscored in the segments under study that there is a whole number of phraseologisms non-liable to sensible alignment by the endeavours to find interlingual phraseological equivalents and accordances; the fact speaking about national specificity of correlated PhUs.
