Important Language Notes
Bulgarian uses the verb ям for "eat," which stands in daily phrases like Какво ядеш за закуска? Unlike English, questions in Bulgarian often include verb forms that change according to person and number. Notice the flexibility in expressing habitual actions using the present tense, such as пия кафе (I drink coffee) and ям супа (I eat soup). Bulgarian sentence structure and verb conjugation differ from English, but in simple daily statements, the word order often resembles English for ease of understanding.
Useful Expressions and Their English Equivalents
- Ям – "I eat"
- Пия – "I drink"
- Обичам – "I like" or "I love"
- Закуска – "Breakfast"
