Summary/Abstract: The article presents a theoretically and methodologically complex and multidimensional approach to the contrastive analysis of phraseology of three neighbouring languages, using as example selected German, Slovene and Hungarian idioms with the constituents hand and water. The comparison is based on the postulate that phraseology has a model- character, i.e. we compare the conceptual basis and the phraseological meaning of the idioms with the purpose of drawing conclusions about corresponding models of conceptualization. Most idioms display a high level of convergence regarding their meaning.
