In this research metaphors are placed in five groups: nature, love and separations, religious and ideological, political and social and finally, racial. The statistics showed that in the universe of these two languages metaphorical domains, political, social and racial ones depend on language and this hypothesis that metaphorical images are not only linguistic categories, but form the basis of the thinking and behavior of human beings is proved.
