Summary/Abstract: The paper presents toponyms that appear in the function of components of Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian and Czech phraseological units in a form of a sentence (traditionally also refeered to as proverbs and sayings). From the point of view of their syntactic structure, most examples follow the pattern of a simple sentence (e.g. S.-Cr. Puno je vode proteklo Savom), a less complex sentence (e.g. Bulg. Ходил в/на Стамбул, а царя не видял), while exceptions constitute the so-called intersubject structures, such as Czech Jak je ti, Rakousko? – Ouzko!. The syntactic structure may lack a predicate – e.g. Bulg. Нерде Ямбол, нерде Стамбул or S.-Cr. Martin u Zagreb, Martin iz Zagreba. Within the studied phraseology there are also toponyms differing from their standard or modern form (e.g. Czech Tejn, Brandejs, Sibérie or Bulg. Стамбул).
