In the paper we investigate the semantics of possessum in dative external constructions in two related languages: Croatian and Polish. On the basis of the language corpuses we distinguish semantic groups of possessum, and then identify similarities and differences that occur between them, in view of their meaning and frequencies. Most of the similarities are noted in the group of body parts and inanimate objects or artifacts, and the biggest difference is in the kinship terms, which are numerous in the Croatian language but not in Polish.
