Summary/Abstract: This paper examines phraseological expressions in Serbian and English language that contain the lexeme door (vrata). The method that was used to analyse the phraseological expressions in both languages is semantic analysis and the expressions were classified in certain cathegories according to their meaning. By comparing the phraseological units found in Serbian dictionaries to those found in English dictionaries, we can conclude that, in certain cases, there is a high degree of corespondence between the given languages. However, the analysis showed that, in certain instances, we can also denote a difference in either form or meaning, or both.
