Summary/Abstract: In this paper it is presented the classification of adjectives in Bosnian language with respect to ability to be used predicatively or attributively. According to that criterion adjectives are divided into three groups: attributive-predicative adjectives (they can be used both attributively and predicatively: lijep, zlatan, pokvaren), adjectives attributiva tantum (they can be used only attributively: puki, bogovetni, dotični) and adjectives praedicativa tantum (they can be used only predicatively: kvit, bihuzur).
