Please see the picture below:

I wonder if ми, ти, му, ѝ, ни, ви and им could replace all the others?

For example could им replace нивни, нивниот etc.?

If not when do I know when to use any of these different variations?

  1. With different variations I meant the ones to the right. I understand that the other ones are for masculine, neutral, feminine and plural in undecided and decided forms.

    No they can’t.

    Second to fifth column are all variations of possessive pronouns.

    Second column are possessive pronouns for masculine nouns.
    Third are for feminine nouns.
    Fourth for third person nouns.
    Fifth for plural nouns.

    For example:That is my phone.
    Would be:Тоа е мојот телефон.
    That’s because the noun is masculine.

    On the other hand ми ти му ѝ ни ви им are indirect object pronouns

    Example:Тој ми кажа(He told me)

    No, as the other person explained.
    In saying that, in terms of what you were thinking, the best example I can think of is:
    Тие се нивни(те) предмети. (Тhose are their(s) objects.
    You can also say: Тие им се предметите. Or Тие им се нивните предмети.

    Нека ме поправи некој, ако згрешив.

  4. As possessives you use the ones on the right mostly with family members. For example it’s much more common to say мајка ми (‘my mom’) instead of мојата мајка.
    This also goes for other family members of course (татко ми/ти/му…, брат ми/ти/му…, сестра ми…)
