Describing things and people requires adjectives (e.g. добър, стара, вкусно). Bulgarian adjectives change to match the noun’s gender and number.
See the table below for patterns and examples:
| Type | Pattern | Examples |
| Masculine | This is the main form (стар) | стар човек (old person) |
| Feminine | Add -а to the main form (стар→ стара) | стара къща (old house) |
| Neuter | Add -о to the main form (стар→ старо) | старо палто (old coat) |
| Plural | Replace the final -а of the feminine form with -и (стара→ стари) | стари части (old parts) |
⚠️There are some exceptions to this pattern. Here are some examples:
добърлекар (good doctor)
дображена (good woman)
доброучилище (good school)
добриприятели (good friends)
вкусенобяд (delicious lunch)
вкуснаторта (delicious cake)
