Abstract: The article makes an attempt to describe the caritive meaning, the carriers of which are prefixed and non-prefixed verbs in Russian and Serbian. At the morphological level, caritive indicators are the prefixes bez-/ bes- and obez-/obes-, as well as nedo-, which, in addition to lack, also expresses additional meanings. The morphosyntactic properties and pragmatic potential of the verbs under consideration are clarified, thanks to which it is possible to identify non-prefixed verbs with the meaning under consideration.
