The object of the present study is the process of adaptation of verbs of foreign origin into the Bulgarian language, with a focus on those ending in -iram or its extended variant -iziram, and their integration into the established paradigms of verb conjugation. These verbs are categorized as biaspectual, indicating that their aspectual form is variable and contingent upon the context of the sentence. As biaspectual verbs are an occurrence specific to the Slavic languages, the purpose of the current study is to analyze problems and inconsistencies within the process of adapting such verbs to the verb inflection of the Bulgarian language.
