===Pronouns=== Three types of pronouns can be distinguished in Macedonian: [[personal pronouns|personal]] (''лични''), [[relative pronouns|relative]] (''лично-предметни'') and [[demonstrative pronouns|demonstrative]] (''показни''). Case relations are marked in pronouns. Personal pronouns in Macedonian appear in three genders and both in singular and plural. They can also appear either as [[accusative|direct]] or [[dative|indirect object]] in long or short forms. Depending on whether a definite direct or indirect object is used, a [[clitic pronoun]] will refer to the object with the verb: ''Јас не му ја дадов книгата на момчето'' ("I did not give the book to the boy").{{sfn|Friedman|Garry|Rubino|2001|page=437}} The direct object is a remnant of the accusative case and the indirect of the dative. Reflexive pronouns also have forms for both direct and indirect objects: ''себе се'', ''себе си''. Examples of personal pronouns are shown below: * Personal pronoun: '''''Јас''' читам книга''. ("I am reading a book") * Direct object pronoun: ''Таа '''мене ме''' виде во киното''. ("She saw me at the cinema") * Indirect object pronoun: ''Тој '''мене ми''' рече да дојдам''. ("He told me to come") Relative pronouns can refer to a person (''кој, која, кое'' - who), objects (''што'' - which) or serve as indicators of possession (''чиј, чија, чие'' - whose) in the function of a question or a relative word. These pronouns are inflected for gender and number and other word forms can be derived from them (''никој'' - nobody, ''нешто'' - something, ''сечиј'' - everybody's). There are three groups of demonstrative pronouns that can indicate proximate (''овој'' - this one (mas.)), distal (''онаа'' - the one there (fem.)) and unspecific (''тоа'' - that one (neut.)) objects. These pronouns have served as a basis for the definite article.{{sfn|Bojkovska|Minova-Gjurkova|Pandev|Cvetanovski|2008|p={{page needed|date=August 2021}}}}{{sfn|Bogdanoska|2008}} {|class="wikitable" |+Macedonian personal pronouns |- !Person !Singular !Direct object !Indirect object !Plural !Direct object !Indirect object |- !1. | ''јас'' | ''мене ме'' | ''мене ми'' | ''ние'' | ''нас нѐ'' | ''нам ни'' |- !2. | ''ти''<br />''вие'' (formal) | ''тебе те''<br />''вас ве'' (formal) | ''тебе ти''<br />''вас ви'' (formal) | ''вие'' | ''вас ве'' | ''вас ви'' |- !3. | ''тој'' (masculine)<br />''таа'' (feminine)<br />''тоа'' (neuter) | ''него го'' (masc./neut.)<br />''неа ја'' (fem.) | ''нему му'' (masc./neut.)<br />''нејзе ѝ'' (fem.) | ''тие'' | ''нив ги'' | ''ним им'' |}
