Introduction

This template should be used to decline all Bulgarian adjectives.

Generally, a single argument is supplied to the template, consisting of an adjective (multisyllabic adjectives are required to have an acute accent indicating the stress) followed by a declension spec in angle brackets. In the most basic case, nothing needs to be supplied between the angle brackets. For example, for the adjective зеле́н (zelén, “green, unripe, fresh”):

{{bg-adecl|зеле́н<>}}

produces

Positive forms of зеле́н

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	зеле́н zelén	зеле́на zeléna	зеле́но zeléno	зеле́ни zeléni
definite (subject form)	зеле́ният zelénijat	зеле́ната zelénata	зеле́ното zelénoto	зеле́ните zelénite
definite (object form)	зеле́ния zelénija

Comparative forms of зеле́н

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	по́-зеле́н pó-zelén	по́-зеле́на pó-zeléna	по́-зеле́но pó-zeléno	по́-зеле́ни pó-zeléni
definite (subject form)	по́-зеле́ният pó-zelénijat	по́-зеле́ната pó-zelénata	по́-зеле́ното pó-zelénoto	по́-зеле́ните pó-zelénite
definite (object form)	по́-зеле́ния pó-zelénija

Superlative forms of зеле́н

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	на́й-зеле́н náj-zelén	на́й-зеле́на náj-zeléna	на́й-зеле́но náj-zeléno	на́й-зеле́ни náj-zeléni
definite (subject form)	на́й-зеле́ният náj-zelénijat	на́й-зеле́ната náj-zelénata	на́й-зеле́ното náj-zelénoto	на́й-зеле́ните náj-zelénite
definite (object form)	на́й-зеле́ния náj-zelénija

Indicators

Indicators can be specified inside of angle brackets to modify the default declension behavior. For example, the ! indicator specifies that the adjective lacks comparative and superlative forms, e.g. for ру́ски (rúski, “Russian”):

{{bg-adecl|ру́ски<!>}}

produces

Declension of ру́ски (no comparative)

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	ру́ски rúski	ру́ска rúska	ру́ско rúsko	ру́ски rúski
definite (subject form)	ру́ският rúskijat	ру́ската rúskata	ру́ското rúskoto	ру́ските rúskite
definite (object form)	ру́ския rúskija

Note also here that the module automatically knows how to handle adjectives whose lemma ends in -и.

Reducible adjectives

Another indicator is *, which specifies that the adjective is "reducible" (i.e. an е, ъ or я in the last syllable drops out in all forms that take an ending). For example, for the adjective че́рен (čéren, “black”), all forms but the lemma use the stem черн-:

{{bg-adecl|че́рен<*>}}

produces

Positive forms of че́рен

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	че́рен čéren	че́рна čérna	че́рно čérno	че́рни čérni
definite (subject form)	че́рният čérnijat	че́рната čérnata	че́рното čérnoto	че́рните čérnite
definite (object form)	че́рния čérnija

Comparative forms of че́рен

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	по́-че́рен pó-čéren	по́-че́рна pó-čérna	по́-че́рно pó-čérno	по́-че́рни pó-čérni
definite (subject form)	по́-че́рният pó-čérnijat	по́-че́рната pó-čérnata	по́-че́рното pó-čérnoto	по́-че́рните pó-čérnite
definite (object form)	по́-че́рния pó-čérnija

Superlative forms of че́рен

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	на́й-че́рен náj-čéren	на́й-че́рна náj-čérna	на́й-че́рно náj-čérno	на́й-че́рни náj-čérni
definite (subject form)	на́й-че́рният náj-čérnijat	на́й-че́рната náj-čérnata	на́й-че́рното náj-čérnoto	на́й-че́рните náj-čérnite
definite (object form)	на́й-че́рния náj-čérnija

The module automatically knows how to handle reducible adjectives with a vowel directly preceding the reducible vowel, e.g. бо́як (bójak, “feisty, energetic”) (stem бойк-) and во́ен (vóen, “military”) (stem войн-):

{{bg-adecl|бо́як<*>}}

produces

Positive forms of бо́як

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	бо́як bójak	бо́йка bójka	бо́йко bójko	бо́йки bójki
definite (subject form)	бо́йкият bójkijat	бо́йката bójkata	бо́йкото bójkoto	бо́йките bójkite
definite (object form)	бо́йкия bójkija

Comparative forms of бо́як

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	по́-бо́як pó-bójak	по́-бо́йка pó-bójka	по́-бо́йко pó-bójko	по́-бо́йки pó-bójki
definite (subject form)	по́-бо́йкият pó-bójkijat	по́-бо́йката pó-bójkata	по́-бо́йкото pó-bójkoto	по́-бо́йките pó-bójkite
definite (object form)	по́-бо́йкия pó-bójkija

Superlative forms of бо́як

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	на́й-бо́як náj-bójak	на́й-бо́йка náj-bójka	на́й-бо́йко náj-bójko	на́й-бо́йки náj-bójki
definite (subject form)	на́й-бо́йкият náj-bójkijat	на́й-бо́йката náj-bójkata	на́й-бо́йкото náj-bójkoto	на́й-бо́йките náj-bójkite
definite (object form)	на́й-бо́йкия náj-bójkija

{{bg-adecl|во́ен<*!>}}

produces

Declension of во́ен (no comparative)

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	во́ен vóen	во́йна vójna	во́йно vójno	во́йни vójni
definite (subject form)	во́йният vójnijat	во́йната vójnata	во́йното vójnoto	во́йните vójnite
definite (object form)	во́йния vójnija

The last example shows that when multiple indicators need to be specified, they are simply concatenated.

Other stem alternations

Many adjectives alternate between -я- and -е- in different forms. There are two variants, exemplified by бял (bjal, “white”) (feminine бя́ла, plural бе́ли) and те́сен (tésen, “narrow”) (feminine тя́сна, plural те́сни). Both are specified using the (я) indicator:

{{bg-adecl|бял<(я)>}}

produces

Positive forms of бял

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	бял bjal	бя́ла bjála	бя́ло bjálo	бе́ли béli

{{bg-adecl|те́сен<*(я)>}}

produces

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	те́сен tésen	тя́сна tjásna	тя́сно tjásno	те́сни tésni
definite (subject form)	те́сният tésnijat	тя́сната tjásnata	тя́сното tjásnoto	те́сните tésnite

Comparative forms of те́сен

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	по́-те́сен pó-tésen	по́-тя́сна pó-tjásna	по́-тя́сно pó-tjásno	по́-те́сни pó-tésni

definite (object form)	на́й-те́сния náj-tésnija

In the latter example, the adjective is reducible (the final -е- in the lemma form drops out in other forms), which is indicated by *.

A few adjectives alternate between -ръ- and -ьр- in different forms. There are again two variants, exemplified by дъ́рзък (dǎ́rzǎk, “bold”) (feminine дръ́зка, plural дръ́зки) and пръв (prǎv, “first”) (feminine пъ́рва, plural пъ́рви). Both are specified using the (ър) indicator:

{{bg-adecl|дъ́рзък<*(ър)>}}

produces

Positive forms of дъ́рзък

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	дъ́рзък dǎ́rzǎk	дръ́зка drǎ́zka	дръ́зко drǎ́zko	дръ́зки drǎ́zki

definite (object form)	на́й-дръ́зкия náj-drǎ́zkija

{{bg-adecl|пръв<!(ър)>}}

produces

Declension of пръв (no comparative)

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	пръв prǎv	пъ́рва pǎ́rva	пъ́рво pǎ́rvo	пъ́рви pǎ́rvi
definite (subject form)	пъ́рвият pǎ́rvijat	пъ́рвата pǎ́rvata	пъ́рвото pǎ́rvoto	пъ́рвите pǎ́rvite
definite (object form)	пъ́рвия pǎ́rvija

Note that in the first example, дъ́рзък (dǎ́rzǎk, “bold”) is reducible (the final -ъ- in the lemma form drops out in other forms), which is indicated by *. Meanwhile, in the second example, пръв (prǎv, “first”) has no comparative or superlative, which is indicated by !.

Stressed endings

A few adjectives, such as добъ́р (dobǎ́r, “good”), зъл (zǎl, “evil”), делови́ (deloví, “active”) and свет (svet, “holy”) have the stress on the endings (e.g. definite subjective masculine sinuglar добри́ят, зли́ят, делови́ят, свети́ят. In the first three cases, the module can automatically figure this out, based on the following:

1. If the adjective ends in stressed -и́, it is assumed to be ending-stressed.
2. If the adjective is reducible and the reducible vowel is stressed, it is assumed to be ending-stressed.

For adjectives like свет (svet), there is no way for the module to know that the endings are stressed. To indicate this, use the indicator b (compare the noun accent patterns in {{bg-ndecl}}):

{{bg-adecl|свет<b>}}

produces

Positive forms of свет

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	свет svet	света́ svetá	свето́ svetó	свети́ svetí
definite (subject form)	свети́ят svetíjat	света́та svetáta	свето́то svetóto	свети́те svetíte
definite (object form)	свети́я svetíja

Comparative forms of свет

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	по́-све́т pó-svét	по́-света́ pó-svetá	по́-свето́ pó-svetó	по́-свети́ pó-svetí
definite (subject form)	по́-свети́ят pó-svetíjat	по́-света́та pó-svetáta	по́-свето́то pó-svetóto	по́-свети́те pó-svetíte
definite (object form)	по́-свети́я pó-svetíja

Superlative forms of свет

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	на́й-све́т náj-svét	на́й-света́ náj-svetá	на́й-свето́ náj-svetó	на́й-свети́ náj-svetí
definite (subject form)	на́й-свети́ят náj-svetíjat	на́й-света́та náj-svetáta	на́й-свето́то náj-svetóto	на́й-свети́те náj-svetíte
definite (object form)	на́й-свети́я náj-svetíja

You should know that the indicator a, if given, indicates stem stress, but is rarely if ever required as stem stress is the default except in the two situations specified just above.

Soft endings

Some adjectives have "soft endings" (e.g. feminine in -я instead of -а). There are two variants, both of which are indicated using (ь):

1. Possessive adjectives in -и, typically referring to animals, with lemma in -и and neuter singular in -е, e.g. ко́зи (kózi, “goat (relational); goat's”).
2. Adjectives whose lemma ends in a consonant, with neuter singular in -ьо, e.g. син (sin, “dark blue”).

Examples:

{{bg-adecl|ко́зи<!(ь)>}}

produces

Declension of ко́зи (no comparative)

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural

definite (object form)	на́й-си́ния náj-sínija

Some adjectives whose stem ends in a consonant such as ч or ш have their feminine singular in -а as normal, but the neuter singular in either -е or -о. These are indicated using (ч), e.g. о́вчи (óvči, “sheep (relational); sheep's”) and низш (nizš, “low, lower”):

{{bg-adecl|о́вчи<!(ч)>}}

produces

Declension of о́вчи (no comparative)

definite (object form)	на́й-ни́зшия náj-nízšija

Multiple declensions

You can specify more than one collection of indicators, comma-separated. For example, бето́нен (betónen, “concrete (relational)”) has stem either бето́нен- (non-reduced) or бето́нн- (reduced). You can indicate this as follows:

{{bg-adecl|бето́нен<!,!*>}}

which produces

Declension of бето́нен (no comparative)

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	бето́нен betónen	бето́нена, бето́нна betónena, betónna	бето́нено, бето́нно betóneno, betónno	бето́нени, бето́нни betóneni, betónni

definite (object form)	бето́нения, бето́нния betónenija, betónnija

Here we specify to decline both as ! (no comparative) and !* (no comparative, reducible). Note that the no-comparative indicator ! must be specified in both indicator collections.

Another such adjective is безве́рен (bezvéren, “unbelieving; treacherous”), which has feminine either безвя́рна or безве́рна (i.e. either with or without alternation between -я- and -е-. You can indicate this as follows:

{{bg-adecl|безве́рен<*(я),*>}}

which produces

Positive forms of безве́рен

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural

Here we specify to decline both as *(я) (reducible, я/е alternation) and * (reducible but without я/е alternation).

Alternative stresses

You can specify alternative lemma forms, which is especially useful for words with multiple possible stress patterns. For example, не́добър (nédobǎr, “bad, poor”) (feminine не́добра) can also be stressed as недобъ́р (nedobǎ́r) (feminine недобра́). You can indicate this as follows:

{{bg-adecl|((не́добър<*>,недобъ́р<*>))}}

which produces

Positive forms of не́добър, недобъ́р

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural

indefinite	на́й-не́добър, на́й-недобъ́р náj-nédobǎr, náj-nedobǎ́r	на́й-не́добра, на́й-недобра́ náj-nédobra, náj-nedobrá	на́й-не́добро, на́й-недобро́ náj-nédobro, náj-nedobró	на́й-не́добри, на́й-недобри́ náj-nédobri, náj-nedobrí
definite (subject form)	на́й-не́добрият, на́й-недобри́ят náj-nédobrijat, náj-nedobríjat	на́й-не́добрата, на́й-недобра́та náj-nédobrata, náj-nedobráta	на́й-не́доброто, на́й-недобро́то náj-nédobroto, náj-nedobróto	на́й-не́добрите, на́й-недобри́те náj-nédobrite, náj-nedobríte
definite (object form)	на́й-не́добрия, на́й-недобри́я náj-nédobrija, náj-nedobríja

Here we have to repeat the reducible indicator * in both places, but the fact that не́добър (nédobǎr) has stresss pattern a while недобъ́р (nedobǎ́r) has stress pattern b (see above) is automatically detected.

Overriding individual forms

It is possible to override individual forms in unusual cases. To do this, add the syntax /SLOT:FORM,FORM,... after any indicators, inside of<...>, where SLOT is the particular form to override (e.g. def_f_sg for the definite feminine singular) and FORM are the individual values that the form should take. For examples, see below and under pronoun/number support. The allowable slots are:

Slot	Meaning	Notes
ind_m_sg	indefinite masculine singular
def_sub_m_sg	definite subjective masculine singular
def_obj_m_sg	definite objective masculine singular
ind_f_sg	indefinite feminine singular
def_f_sg	definite feminine singular
ind_n_sg	indefinite neuter singular
def_n_sg	definite neuter singular
ind_pl	indefinite singular
def_pl	definite plural
voc_m_sg	vocative masculine singular
short	short form	used for possessive forms, e.g. мой (moj, “my”)
ind_m_pl	indefinite masculine plural	only when dva is specified
def_m_pl	definite masculine plural	only when dva is specified
ind_fn_pl	indefinite feminine/neuter plural	only when dva is specified
def_fn_pl	definite feminine/neuter plural	only when dva is specified
m_sg	masculine singular	only when chij is specified
nom_m_sg	nominative masculine singular	only when koj is specified
acc_m_sg	accusative masculine singular	only when koj is specified
dat_m_sg	dative masculine singular	only when koj is specified
f_sg	feminine singular	only when koj or chij is specified
n_sg	neuter singular	only when koj or chij is specified
pl	plural	only when koj or chij is specified

You can also use a similar syntax to specify boolean properties, i.e. yes-no properties that don't need to take a specific value:

Slot	Meaning
+voc	has a vocative form. Only a handful of adjectives used when addressing people - like драг (drag) - have a vocative form in modern Bulgarian.
dva	for два (dva) and similar numbers; plural only, no comparative, has a gender distinction between masculine and feminine/neuter
koj	for кой (koj) and similar pronouns; no definite forms, no vocative, no comparative, but has a (possibly archaic) distinction between nominative, accusative and dative in the masculine singular
chij	for чий (čij), какъ́в (kakǎ́v) and similar pronouns; no definite forms, no vocative, no comparative

When specifying dva, koj or chij, manual overrides must be given for all the non-lemma slots. See below for examples.

Note that some of the above slots can be used to override the lemma form, specifically:

• ind_m_sg for normal adjectives
• ind_m_pl for dva-type adjectives
• nom_m_sg for koj-type adjectives
• m_sg for chij-type adjectives

This can be useful when the lemma form is irregular compared with the remaining forms.

An example of using the above properties is не́ин (néin, “her(s), its”), where all but the lemma forms use a stem нейн-:

{{bg-adecl|нейн<!/short:ѝ/ind_m_sg:не́ин>}}

produces

Declension of не́ин (no comparative)

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
indefinite	не́ин néin	не́йна néjna	не́йно néjno	не́йни néjni
definite (subject form)	не́йният néjnijat	не́йната néjnata	не́йното néjnoto	не́йните néjnite
definite (object form)	не́йния néjnija
short form	ѝ ì

Here we do the following:

1. Specify that there are no comparative or superlative forms, using !.
2. Use an override to specify a short form ѝ (ì). Short forms don't exist by default, but specifying one will cause it to display in the table.
3. Specify the lemma as нейн (the stem used for all but the actual lemma form), and override the lemma form (indefinite masculine singular) with the actual value не́ин (néin). This ensures that all non-lemma forms are correctly declined using the stem нейн- (indefinite feminine singular не́йна, definite subjective masculine singular не́йният, etc.).

Pronouns, numbers, etc.

There is special support for declension tables for numbers that vary depending on gender (e.g. еди́н (edín), два (dva) and compounds) and pronouns of two types: those with special accusative and dative forms in the masculine singular (e.g. кой (koj), ни́кой (níkoj)) and those without (e.g. чий (čij), какъ́в (kakǎ́v)).

To enable this support, use a special property corresponding to the type of table required, and specify manual overrides for all the non-lemma forms. The supported properties are:

• dva for два (dva) and compounds
• koj for кой (koj), ни́кой (níkoj), and similar pronouns
• chij for чий (čij), какъ́в (kakǎ́v), and similar pronouns

Examples:

1. For два (dva, “two”):

{{bg-adecl|два</dva/def_m_pl:два́та/ind_fn_pl:две/def_fn_pl:две́те>}}

which produces

Declension of два

	masculine	feminine/ neuter
indefinite	два dva	две dve
definite	два́та dváta	две́те dvéte

2. For кой (koj, “who, what”):

{{bg-adecl|кой</koj/acc_m_sg:кого́/dat_m_sg:кому́[a]/f_sg:коя́/n_sg:кое́/pl:кои́>}}

which produces

Declension of кой

	masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
nominative	кой koj	коя́ kojá	кое́ koé	кои́ koí
accusative	кого́ kogó
dative	кому́1 komú1

¹Archaic.

Note here that we specify a footnote after кому́ to indicate that it is archaic (see {{bg-ndecl}} for more information on specifying footnotes; the same format is used).

3. For какъ́в (kakǎ́v, “what (kind of)”):

{{bg-adecl|какъ́в</chij/f_sg:каква́/n_sg:какво́/pl:какви́>}}

which produces

Declension of какъ́в

masculine	feminine	neuter	plural
какъ́в kakǎ́v	каква́ kakvá	какво́ kakvó	какви́ kakví
