Nations' cultures may vary, but they all have the same ways of using their surroundings to develop new proverbs that mirror their lives. This study focuses on the pragma-discoursal analysis of professional translators and undergraduates' English translations of Baghdadi proverbs. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher carefully chose ten Baghdadi proverbs within a real-life context (RLC) by relying on two books about Baghdadi proverbs: Proverbs of Baghdad Vols. 1 and 2 by Sheikh Jalal Al- Ḥanafi, 1962; and A Collection of Baghdadi Proverbs Vol. 1 by Abdul-Rahman Al-Tikriti, 1971. Furthermore, the researcher formulated a translation questionnaire via Google Forms in which ten translators and undergraduates aged 22 to 30 years old from different governorates across Iraq were randomly chosen and asked to translate the Baghdadi proverbs into English. In analysing the Baghdadi proverbs, the researcher applied the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) by Wodak and speech act theory by Austin. Accordingly, after assessing the participants’ translations of Baghdadi proverbs into English, the conclusions of the study verified the researcher’s hypothesis. Finally, the researcher presented solutions for translating proverbs to enable translators to address the barriers in translating proverbs.
