Summary/Abstract: With numerous examples, the author supports the opinion that in Slavic languages (first of all in Slovakian) Hungarian had a great influence on the type of the verbs formed from the stems of nouns. Predominantly, linguistic material is taken from the popular Slovakian in which the influence of Hungarian was the most strong. Other Slavic examples come from the regions of the contact of Hungarian with Serbian and Slovenian languages. In a number of cases, the influence of German is not to be excluded either; one should also keep in mind the probability of internal developments and morphologic analogies. With regard to many of the denominative verbs given as examples, the author put forward the question whether in a certain period these were really living words or are just constructed by lexicographers.
