Declension of interrogative pronouns

In declension interrogative pronouns change grammatical cases, they vary in numbers (singular and plural) and in genders.

 Remember when interrogative pronouns Tko? and Što? are declined they get the form of questions. The same question form that is used in declension of nouns.

Interrogative pronoun in singular

As an example of declension the interrogative pronoun "Koji?" is chosen:

Pay attention that there is no vocative case. And in accusative the form "koji" in masculine refers to non-living things. 

Interrogative pronoun in plural

Pay attention that there is no vocative case in plural and that several cases have the same form in all genders!
