Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the comparative idioms with identical ethnic component in Macedonian, Czech and Croatian language. The presented idioms are language reflections of already existent stereotypes, thus the analyzed material shows the productivity of the same ethnic component in the idioms in these three languages. The focus is on the similarities and differences from semantic point of view. The paper shows that the ethnic component used as prototype in the idioms presents a specific conceptualization of the same reality, which is not necessarily identical for the three nations.
