Summary/Abstract: The article presents the way of expressing intensity in Serbian and Macedonian. The analysis of derivatives was made using the semantic word-formation methodology. It was initially assumed that the close relationship of the languages manifests itself in word-formation. The analysis of derivatives in this category shows a large similarity, such as the occurrence of the same or similar formatives, the distribution of formatives, the variance of formatives, but also that both languages retain their specificity. The results of the research will be presented in two parts. The present part deals with the formatives that appear in both compared languages. The formatives appearing in one of the languages and not the other will be discussed in a further paper.
