Based on the dialectal material gathered from the radio show titled Za smeh in dobro voljo, the first part of the paper tries to identify the Romanic-Germanic verbal elements in the idiom of Križ (S. Croce) near Trieste – which displays typical idiomatic features of the Kras area – and subsequently present these from the morphological and lexical points of view. The second part focuses on a lexical analysis of Romanic Istrian-Slovene verbal elements drawn from a collection of humorous short stories by Nelda Štok Vojska entitled Antonci v Pridvoru, Istrjani na Obali.

The monography presents the author's findings regarding the origin of expressions for kin, birds and other animals, of myconims and cooper terminology. The material was collected in the frame of the project 'Istrian Linguistic Atlas' in the 1980s, but was later expanded. The author's findings, which show that Istrorumanian words are largely of Chacavian origin, are based on a comparative analysis of all the expressions with the material available in Istrorumanian glossaries, vocabularies and dictionaries, as well as with words from Chacavian, Slovene and Venetian dialects found in Istria.
