Conveying national and cultural specifics of everyday realities in translations of A.P. Chekhov’s short stories into Arabic 1 H. Yeghni,

the article examines specifics of conveying everyday realities when translating A.P. Chekhov’s stories into Arabic. The main classes of everyday realities are identified and their specificity is studied. It is established that when translating such realities, the translator almost always uses the strategy of domestication, which does not allow to preserve the national and cultural specificity of the original Russian text. It is shown that using the techniques of modulation and functional substitution, the translator tries to convey Russian realities using similar and more understandable to the Arab reader images of Arab culture, which impoverishes the translation in national and cultural aspects.
