Abstract
This article explores selected dialect terms used by Istrians to describe interpersonal relations, sensations, and personal characteristics. The dialect terms presented were compiled by the author in Boršt, Dragonja, Krkavče, Nova Vas nad Dragonjo, Padna, Sveti Peter, Tinjan, Sečovlje, Strunjan, Koper, Izola, and Piran. Lexical analysis revealed that most of the terms compiled, all of which belong to the semantic feld of feelings and sensations, are of Romance origin. Moreover, a few terms were found for which the population of the Koper and Piran countryside know only the local Slovenian dialect word.
