The purpose of this template is to simplify the task of adding derived verbs to the Derived terms section of a Bulgarian verb entry. Like in other Slavic languages, Bulgarian verbs exhibit the following two properties:

• rich opportunities for verbal derivation using prefixes such as до- (do-), на- (na-), от- (ot-), из- (iz-), etc.
• variants that differ by aspect: perfective or imperfective

With the help of this template, you can save yourself a lot of typing by specifying the prefixes to use, and the perfective/imperfective "stems" to attach them to.

Here are a few motivating examples to provide some intuition about how this template is used. You can find an in-depth explanation of template options in the next section.

This is a straightforward example where we wish to list pairs of perfective and imperfective derived verbs, given a base pattern for the perfective and imperfective form and a list of prefixes to apply. By default, the pattern (introduced by *) starts with the perfective base. The resulting derived verbs will be sorted alphabetically.

{{bg-derived verbs
|*чета́/чи́там
|про
|до
|от
|из
|доиз
|раз
|по-/-
}}

produces:

This example demonstrates the support for more than one "base" per aspect, as well as the ability to manually override things e.g. when not all per-aspect options make sense.

{{bg-derived verbs
|*садя́/садя́вам,са́ждам
|по
|на
|за
|разсадя́/разса́ждам
|пре
|при
}}

produces:

This example demonstrates the ability to specify multiple groups of derived verbs, which is useful in cases where are more than 2-3 possible derived verbs per prefix. It also shows the ability to sort each group separately (in alphabetical order) by using a line with just a hyphen (-). Leaving that line out would result in all 5 verb pairs being sorted amongst each other, which is also valid - use your judgment.

{{bg-derived verbs
|*летя́/ли́там
|по
|на
|за
|-
|*ли́тна/ли́твам<qq:iterative>
|за
|по
}}

produces:

1. In the most basic use, a slash separates corresponding aspectually paired derived verbs, normally inputted and displayed in the order perfective, imperfective. (Use |impf_first=1 to switch this and cause both the input and display to put imperfective before perfective.) To include multiple (normally synonymous) verbs for a given aspect, separate them with commas. Use a hyphen by itself to indicate that there is no verb for that aspect.
2. If a line is preceded by *, the verbs on that line specify a suffix template. This line is not displayed, but establishes a set of suffixes to be added to later-specified prefixes. For example, *чета́/чи́там specifies a suffix template consisting of perfective -чета́ (-četá) and imperfective -чи́там (-čítam).
3. If a line has no slash or comma in it, it is a prefix, which is added to the most recently-established suffix template to form the aspect pair. For example, про (pro), от (ot) and из (iz) respectively specify derived verbs прочета́ pf (pročetá)/прочи́там impf (pročítam), отчета́ pf (otčetá)/отчи́там impf (otčítam) and изчета́ pf (izčetá)/изчи́там impf (izčítam).
4. If a line with a slash in it has a verb ending in a hyphen, that verb is treated as a prefix and added to the suffix in the corresponding position for the most recently specified suffix template. For example, given *чета́/чи́там, the line по-/- expands to почета́/-, which translates to an aspectual pair with perfective почета́ (početá) and no imperfective. (Similarly, -/по- translates to an aspectual pair with imperfective почи́там (počítam) and no perfective.)
5. Normally, all specified paired verbs are automatically sorted lexicographically, ignoring accents. However, a line consisting of a hyphen by itself delineates sorting groups; sorting only happens within a group.
6. Any verb (including prefixes and suffixes) can be followed by one or more inline modifiers. These use the same syntax as in {{col}} and variants; {{alter}}/{{alt}}; {{syn}}/{{ant}}/etc.; and several other classes of templates. The basic format of an inline modifier is <PROP:VALUE> where PROP specifies a property to attach to the verb and VALUE is the corersponding value. The recognized properties are as follows:
   • q (a qualifier preceding the verb);
   • qq (a qualifier following the verb);
   • g (one or more comma-separated "genders"; here, they should be pf or impf to override the aspect; use <g:pf,impf> to specify a biaspectual derived verb such as пъту́вам (pǎtúvam);
   • t or gloss (a gloss);
   • pos (a part of speech, as in the |pos= parameter to {{link}}/{{l}});
   • tr (override the auto-generated transliteration);
   • ts (specify a transcription, as in the |ts= parameter to {{link}}/{{l}}; provided for completeness but makes no sense for Bulgarian);
   • lit (literal meaning);
   • id (sense ID, as in the |id= parameter to {{link}}/{{l}}).
