How many types of questions in Bulgarian?[edit | edit source]
In Bulgarian there are two main types of questions: Yes/No questions and questions with a question word.
How do we form yes/no questions in Bulgarian?[edit | edit source]
- We form Yes/No questions using the particle ЛИ. In positive Yes/No questions with the verb “to be” in present simple tense we place ЛИ before the verb “to be”.
- In other types of Yes/No questions we usually place ЛИ after the verb.
Can we skip the personal pronouns?[edit | edit source]
In most cases we can skip the personal pronouns without changing the word order.
How do we use question words?[edit | edit source]
- When we use question words (кой, какъв, как, защо, etc.) we usually do not use ЛИ to form questions.
| Bulgarian | Translation |
|---|---|
| кой | who, which |
| какъв | what kind of; what |
| къде | where |
| кога | when |
| как | how |
| колко | how much; how many |
| защо | why |
- Some question words in Bulgarian have gender and number.
| Bulgarian | Translation | |
|---|---|---|
| m. | кой | who / which |
| f. | коя | |
| n. | кое | |
| pl. | кои | |
| m. | какъв | what kind of / what |
| f. | каква | |
| n. | какво | |
| pl. | какви |
- When we use question words to form questions we place the question words before the verb.
Question word + Verb ?
- When question words are used with prepositions, the sentence starts with the preposition followed by the question word.
Intonation[edit | edit source]
We can also ask questions using narrative sentences with a rising intonation.
