Bulgarian pronouns change according to gender, number, definiteness and case. Pronouns are classified as: personal, "possessive," interrogative, demonstrative, reflexive, universal, negative, indefinite and "relative."
Personal pronounsβ»
In Bulgarian, there are two types of personal pronouns (Π»ΠΈΡΠ½ΠΈ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ): long (stressed, free) and short (unstressed, clitic). The long ones are used with both verbs and prepositions (only the: direct object forms), whereas theββshort ones only with verbs. In some special cases the "long and the short forms of the object pronouns can be used together." As in English, personal pronouns change depending on their function within the sentence. In Bulgarian, personal pronouns change according to whether it is:
- subject,/nominative case (ΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡΠ΅Π»Π΅Π½ ΠΏΠ°Π΄Π΅ΠΆ). Since number and person are marked on Bulgarian verbs, the subject pronouns are used only for emphasis. Or to resolve ambiguity.
- direct object, or accusative case (Π²ΠΈΠ½ΠΈΡΠ΅Π»Π΅Π½ ΠΏΠ°Π΄Π΅ΠΆ). Direct object pronouns come in both long and short sets.
- indirect object, or dative case (Π΄Π°ΡΠ΅Π»Π΅Π½ ΠΏΠ°Π΄Π΅ΠΆ). Indirect object pronouns come in both long and short sets.
- object of a preposition. Only one set of pronouns (long).

*Although Ρ is always unstressed, a stress mark is written over it to distinguish it from ΠΈ "and".
Note that the short indirect object forms can also be used to indicate possession (see table of possessive pronouns below).
Reflexive pronounsβ»
There are two kinds of reflexive pronouns (Π²ΡΠ·Π²ΡΠ°ΡΠ½ΠΈ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ): personal and possessive. Both have two forms: long (stressed, free) and short (unstressed, clitic). Reflexive pronouns do not decline for grammatical person. Personal reflexive pronouns have direct object (accusative) and indirect object (dative) forms. Possessive reflexive pronouns agree in gender, number and definiteness only with the owned noun, not with the possessor. They are used when the subject of the verb owns the object. For example: "ΠΠ· Π²ΠΈΠΆΠ΄Π°ΠΌ ΡΠ²ΠΎΡ Π±ΡΠ°Ρ" (I see my brother).

Possessive pronounsβ»
There are two types of possessive pronouns: long (stressed, free) and short (unstressed, clitic). The long pronouns agree in gender and number with the modified noun and usually precede it, the short forms are invariable and follow the noun ("ΠΌΡΠΆΡΡ ΠΌΠΈ").
The long forms can be definite or indefinite (for example "ΠΌΠΎΡ ΡΠ°Π½ΠΈΡΠ°" means "my rucksack (but I have several)" while "ΠΌΠΎΡΡΠ° ΡΠ°Π½ΠΈΡΠ°" means "the only rucksack of mine" or "the rucksack of mine of which we have already spoken (but I could have other ones, too)" ), depending on whether the noun they modify is definite or indefinite. But only the first constituent of the definite noun phrase is used with an article ("ΠΌΠΎΡΡ ΠΌΡΠΆ" or rarely "ΠΌΡΠΆΡΡ ΠΌΠΎΠΉ"). Both long and short forms can be used attributively, meanwhile only long forms can be used predicatively.

Demonstrative pronounsβ»
Demonstrative pronouns (ΠΏΠΎΠΊΠ°Π·Π°ΡΠ΅Π»Π½ΠΈ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ) agree in number and gender with the noun they refer to (except for this for quantity). There are three types of demonstrative pronouns: for persons and objects, for quality and for quantity. Each demonstrative can not only modify a noun, but also be used on its own. Personal demonstrative pronouns have two forms: for nouns that are close to the speaker or writer and for far nouns. Quality pronouns also have two forms: positive, that specifies that the noun has a particular quality (this kind of/this sort of/of that type) and negative, that specifies that the noun doesn't have a particular quality or has a different one (not this kind of/not this sort of/not of that type).

The demonstrative pronoun for quantity ΡΠΎΠ»ΠΊΠΎΠ²Π° is used with nouns and adjectives. It both specifies the exact quantity of something β this many/this much, and indicates the large extent or degree of something β so (many/much).
Universal pronounsβ»
There are three types of universal pronouns (ΠΎΠ±ΠΎΠ±ΡΠΈΡΠ΅Π»Π½ΠΈ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ): personal, for quality and for quantity. They all agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Personal universal pronouns are used with both singular and plural nouns or on their own and mean all the things or people belonging to a group of one or more β each/every(body). Quality universal nouns are used for specifying that the noun they refer to possesses all kinds of qualities β all kinds/sorts/types of. Quantity universal pronouns are always definite (except for the plural and the neuter form which can also be indefinite, when they are not used with a noun. But on their own) and mean the whole number/amount of something β all (the). The indefinite neuter form also means everything.
The universal pronouns for quantity are rarely used in singular. The adjective ΡΡΠ» (whole) is used with a definite article instead: ΡΠ΅Π»ΠΈΡΡ/ΡΠ΅Π»ΠΈΡ, ΡΡΠ»Π°ΡΠ°, ΡΡΠ»ΠΎΡΠΎ (but ΡΠ΅Π»ΠΈΡΠ΅ in plural does not have this meaning).

Interrogative pronounsβ»
Interrogative pronouns (Π²ΡΠΏΡΠΎΡΠΈΡΠ΅Π»Π½ΠΈ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ) refer to an unknown person, object, quality or quantity and agree with the noun they denote in gender and number. Personal interrogative pronouns are also used with nonhuman beings (animals and objects). Quality interrogative pronouns are used for asking one to specify the word in question. They are translated in English as what/what kind of/what sort of. There is only one interrogative pronoun for quantityβΠΊΠΎΠ»ΠΊΠΎβand it doesn't have any gender or number forms. It is used before plural nouns to ask about their quantity (then it is translated as how much/how many), and before an adjective or adverb to ask about the extent, degree, age, etc. of something or somebody (translated as how).

Relative pronounsβ»
The relative pronouns (ΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΡΠΈΡΠ΅Π»Π½ΠΈ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ) are formed from the corresponding interrogative pronouns by adding -ΡΠΎ to the end of the word. They are used for introducing relative clause.

Unlike in English, in Bulgarian the word for nothing is not only a negative pronoun β Π½ΠΈΡΠΎ, but also a neuter noun (nothingness); as a noun it can have a definite article β Π½ΠΈΡΠΎΡΠΎ (the nothingness).
