Possessive pronouns in Bulgarian are special words that show who owns or has something. Just like in English, where we say 'my', 'your', 'his', 'her', 'our', and 'their', Bulgarian has its own set of words to show possession.
Basic Possessive Pronouns
Important Points
мой (my)
твой (your - singular)
негов (his)
неин (her)
наш (our)
ваш (your - plural)
техен (their)
These pronouns change a little bit depending on what they are describing. They need to match the gender and the number (singular or plural) of the noun they are talking about.
Matching Gender and Number
Important Points
For masculine nouns, use the base form of the pronoun.
For feminine nouns, add 'а' or 'я'.
For neuter nouns, add 'о' or 'е'.
For plural nouns, add 'и' or 'е'.

Important Points
Possessive pronouns must always agree in gender and number with the noun.
They can stand alone or before a noun, like 'my' in 'my book'.
