What is characteristic for this vasijetnama is the fact that Sulejman Damadžić fully adapted our language to these foreign words. This vasijetnama is interesting because of the facts it contains - as we have seen – in several subheadings: Instructions on how to do vasijet, what will be passed along with it, but the necessary things are shown by priority so it has ordered dereji (first, second, third) where reasons for writing vasijetname are given.
