Summary/Abstract: The article examines English metaphorical nominal quantifiers and the peculiarities of their translation into Ukrainian, in terms of the role of these lexemes in expressing indefinite quantity and conveying expressive-evaluative meaning. The research highlights collocational constraints and semantic shifts in ‘Noun of Noun’ constructions. A comparative analysis of English originals and Ukrainian translations reveals translation methods employed while rendering them, as well as grammatical divergences that can occur in the target text.
