Summary/Abstract: In addition to a large number of Oriental, Latin, Greek and other foreign words and expressions, borrowings from the German language take an important place in the Bosnian language. They are referred to in the linguistic literature as "Germanisms". In this paper, Germanisms are viewed from the standpoint of interference. The borrowed word becomes a model that receives its replica in the recipient's language. The replica must adapt to the language system it enters. It adapts to different language levels. Starting from the above statement, the main aim of this paper is to present an adaptation of verbal Germanisms at the morphological level in both the primary and secondary stages.
