Summary/Abstract: Based on our own didactic experience with the 2nd year students of the University of Bucharest, we have identified several controversial aspects when analyzing phrases, sentences and compound sentences, ending in providing alternative interpretations of the syntactic items through the prism of the Romanian students' general linguistic background and specific knowledge of the Slovak Syntax. At the same time, our article reiterates the whole cognitive itinerary that characterizes the Romanian students' linguistic consciousness while being taught Slovak as a foreign language. From this perspective, syntax is the key to understanding the mechanism of the Slovak language as students are expected to manipulate the linguistic units on the syntagmatic axis and practically apply their theoretic knowledge of Morphology at a superior level aiming at efficient communication skills.
