Macedonian Personal Pronouns

Macedonian Personal Pronouns (writing)

➡ In English personal pronouns are (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), and (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them).

➡ In Macedonian, the personal pronouns are:

Macedonian	English
јас	I
ти	you [sing.]
тој таа тоа	he she it
ние	we
вие	you [plur.]
тие	they

Examples

• јас учам (I learn), 
• ти учиш (you learn), 
• тој учи (he learns), 
• таа учи (she learns), 
• Вие учите (you learn [polite]), 
• ние учиме (we learn), 
• вие учите (you learn [plural, friendly]), 
• тие учат (they learn), 
• Вие учите (you learn [plural, polite]).

Indirect Object Pronouns

➡ Indirect object pronouns are words that replace the indirect object, which is usually a person. In the Macedonian language, there are long and short forms (used in direct and indirect speech as well):

• мене ме (me), 
• тебе те (you), 
• него го (him), 
• неа ја (her), 
• него го (it), 
• нас нè (us), 
• вас ве (you), 
• ним им (them)

Examples

• Дај ми ја книгата (give me the book). 
• Јас те сакам тебе(I love you).

Possessive Pronouns

➡ The possessive pronoun depends on the noun. If the noun is masculine gender, the possessive pronoun must be of masculine gender. The same goes for feminine and neuter gender nouns, as well as for the plural.

Examples

	SINGULAR			PLURAL
	Masculine gender	Feminine gender	Neuter gender	Plural gender
my, mine	мој	моја	мое	мои
yours	твој	твоја	твое	твои
his	негов	негова	негово	негови
hers	нејзин	нејзини	нејзино	нејзини
its	негов	негова	негово	негови
ours	наш	наша	наше	наши
yours (plural)	ваш	ваша	ваше	ваши
theirs	нивен	нивна	нивно	нивни
