Usage notes

[edit]

The accusative, dative and prepositional forms are used only when кой (koj) is a pronoun standing on its own (not a determiner standing in front of a noun) and refers to a person. The dative form is dated and is replaced by на (na) + the prepositional form:

На кого́ да благодаря́.
Na kogó da blagodarjá.
(please add an English translation of this usage example)

In informal Bulgarian the nominative form is often used instead of the accusative and prepositional ones:

Кой питаш, с кой разговарям.
Koj pitaš, s koj razgovarjam.
(please add an English translation of this usage example)

This usage is not considered standard.
