Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe modal meanings and morpho-syntax of the verb imati (eng. to have). By analyzing the examples for modal usage of this verb, we established that deontic meaning is dominant and that the verb imati can have dynamic and even epistemic modal meaning. We made a conclusion that the meaning of strong obligation is a characteristic of conversational and administrative language. This paper shows that the verb imati has more types of modal meanings than was often stated by different authors.
