Usage notes
editОнуй (Onuj) and the other shortened demonstrative pronouns (тоз (toz), таз (taz), туй (tuj), тез (tez), оназ (onaz), онез (onez)) are used in the Eastern Bulgarian dialects and are not considered standard. They can also be found in poetry where the number of syllables is important and these pronouns are one syllable shorter than their corresponding standard forms.
