The article examines the role of repetitions in the autobiographical prose of Sadriddin Aini, especially in the context of the word "zindagi" (life). It is noted that repetition as a poetic device emphasizes the philosophical and socio-cultural understanding of the author's life, performing the functions of a thematic dominant, rhythmic-syntactic structure and emotional-expressive element. The word "zindagi" is polysemantic and implies various aspects of human existence, including physical, moral and social condition. Analysis shows that the repetition of this word not only enriches the text, but also creates a multi-layered picture of the life of Tajiks in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. Translation strategies that allow the depth of the original to be conveyed are also considered, using the translation of A.Z. Rosenfeld's "Memories". In conclusion, it is emphasized that the repetition of the word "zindagi" becomes a key element that allows the reader to more deeply understand the author's inner world and reveal his place in the historical context.
