Sažetak
The paper presents the results of a practical research focusing on strategies of translating metaphor- and metonymy-based phraseological units from English into Croatian. In addition to identifying the prevailing set of strategies used in translating phraseological units, the findings highlight an interesting trend, i.e. a definite decrease in the level of idiomaticity, i.e. loss of figurativeness, in the target text. Research results may be used as guidance on how to tailor translation study programmes to efficiently tackle the identified shortcomings.
