Usage notes
editThe dative form is used only when кой (koj) is on its own (not in front of a noun) and refers to a person. It is considered dated and is often replaced by на (na) + the prepositional form:
На кого да пиша? На кого дадоха наградата?
- Na kogo da piša? Na kogo dadoha nagradata?
- To whom should I write? To whom did they give the award?
In informal Bulgarian the nominative form is often used instead of the prepositional:
На кой да пиша? На кой дадоха наградата.
- Na koj da piša? Na koj dadoha nagradata.
- To who should I write? To who did they give the award?
This usage is not standard.
