Case: case

Bulgarian nouns have lost case inflection except for the occasional vocative (v). The cases are still alive in personal pronouns: nominative (n), accusative (a) and dative (d).

Accusative and dative cases are still present in the masculine, singular forms of some other pronouns – interrogative, indefinite, collective, relative, negative. Please note that the long dative forms are analytical and thus, only the accusative form is marked after the preposition ‘на’.

Voc: vocative

In Bulgarian only some nouns have special vocative forms (v):

Examples

Nom: nominative

Examples

Dat: dative

Examples

In our tagset another idiosyncratic case has been marked – the so-called ‘dative possessive case’ (s). It refers to situations where the short possessive pronoun comes before its possessor noun and thus – next to the verb.

The canonical sentence would be: Той взе шапката ми / Toj vze šapkata mi “He took hat.DEF my.POSS” (He took my hat).

Acc: accusative

Examples
