====Questions==== Questions in Bulgarian which do not use a question word (such as who? what? etc.) are formed with the particle {{lang|bg|ли|italic=no}} after the verb; a subject is not necessary, as the verbal conjugation suggests who is performing the action: *{{lang|bg|Идваш}} – 'you are coming'; {{lang|bg|Идваш ли?}} – 'are you coming?' While the particle {{lang|bg|ли}} generally goes after the verb, it can go after a noun or adjective if a contrast is needed: *{{lang|bg|Идваш ли с нас?}} – 'are you coming with us?'; *{{lang|bg|С нас ли идваш?}} – 'are you coming with ''us''<nowiki>'</nowiki>? A verb is not always necessary, e.g. when presenting a choice: *{{lang|bg|Той ли?}} – 'him?'; {{lang|bg|Жълтият ли?}} – 'the yellow one?'<ref group=note>The word {{Wikt-lang|bg|или}} ('either') has a similar etymological root: {{lang|bg|и|italic=no}} + {{lang|bg|ли|italic=no}} ('and') – e.g. ({{lang|bg|или) {{lang|bg|Жълтият или червеният|italic=no}}}} – '(either) the yellow one or the red one.'</ref> Rhetorical questions can be formed by adding {{lang|bg|ли}} to a question word, thus forming a "double interrogative" – *{{lang|bg|Кой?}} – 'Who?'; {{lang|bg|Кой ли?!}} – 'I wonder who(?)' The same construction {{lang|bg|+не|italic=no}} ('no') is an emphasized positive – *{{lang|bg|Кой беше там?}} – 'Who was there?' – {{lang|bg|Кой ли не!}} – 'Nearly everyone!' (lit. 'I wonder who ''wasn't'' there')
