Summary/Abstract: The current article belongs to bilingual studies and discusses the available communication possibilities of some Hungarian speakers when using the Romanian language, targeting the phenomenon of codeswitching. At first, a theoretical basis is presented within the limits allowed by the article. The methods used in the conducted research are those of interviews and observations, the number of subjects being quite small. As a consequence, the research is not representative but rather informational, based on which some observations could be made regarding the appearance and the cause of linguistic codeswitching. It has been noticed that codeswitching has got a specific behavioural-emotional component, and certain communication-related intentions connect to one of the languages consistently.
