Personal Pronouns in Macedonian

Personal pronouns in Macedonian are used to replace the nouns in a sentence. They refer to the people who are speaking, the people who are spoken to, and the people who are spoken about. In Macedonian, personal pronouns are divided into three persons, singular and plural. There are also gender differences between the third person pronouns.

First Person Singular

The first person singular is used to refer to oneself. In Macedonian, there is only one word for "I," and that is "јас."

Here is an example of how to use the first person singular in Macedonian:

Second Person Singular

The second person singular is used to refer to one person. In Macedonian, there are two words for "you." "Ti" is the informal form, while "Вие" is the formal one.
