Bulgarian Plural
Learning the Bulgarian Plural is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you practice the subject, the closer you get to mastering the Bulgarian language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Bulgarian.

| our daughter | dyshterja ni - дъщеря ни |
| our daughters | dyshterite ni - дъщерите ни |
| I'm cold | Studeno mi e - Студено ми е |
| we're cold | Studeno ni e - Студено ни е |
| his chickens | negovite pileta - неговите пилета |
