Summary/Abstract: The study provides a detailed examination of the word formation of Bulgarian adjectives with the suffix -en. The analysis focuses on morphophonological changes related to the vowel -e, as well as the factors determining its deletion or retention. The characteristics of syllable codas, along with phonological and other contexts conditioning the changes, are explored. The research incorporates some contemporary linguistic models and offers rules for explaining the observed phenomena, which are rewritten into relatively simple instructions for teaching Bulgarian as a foreign language.
