Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with nouns with foreign suffix –iáda in Slovak language and suffix –ijada in Serbian language. Lexemes are made by joining suffixes and general or personal nouns, more often of foreign and rarely of domestic origin. Nouns with this suffix refer to a kind of collective competition, action, socialization or exhibition, where consummation of the exhibited is usually right on site. We come across these lexemes in the daily press quite often. Most of these lexemes are of newer date and, hence, still haven’t been recorded in dictionaries of neither Slovak nor Serbian language.
