Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the similarities and differences between the lexical verbal exponents of modality in the Croatian, Serbian, and Polish languages. This study demonstrates the usages and meanings of the Croatian, Serbian, and Polish verbal lexemes: musieć (must / have to), móc (can/may), mieć możliwość (be able to), chcieć (want), and presents their classification from the angle of alethic, epistemic, and deontic modality.
