Lesson Overview: Body Parts in Bulgarian
This lesson introduces basic vocabulary related to human body parts in Bulgarian, targeting beginners at level A1. It helps learners become familiar with simple and practical expressions describing common body parts and conditions.
Key Vocabulary and Examples
- Глава (glava) – head: e.g., "Това е главата ми." (This is my head.)
- Ръка (rŭka) – arm or hand: e.g., "Имам болка в ръката." (I have pain in my arm.)
- Къде (kŭde) – where: useful for asking location-related questions such as "Къде ми къде те боли?" (Where does it hurt?)

- Чиств (chist) – clean: "Ръцете ми са чисти." (My hands are clean.)
Lesson Content and Focus
The lesson guides students through common phrases and simple sentences used to describe body parts and sensations, such as pain or temperature sensation. It teaches how to form descriptive sentences and ask basic questions about one's body condition.
Important Language Points
- Word order and sentence structure: Bulgarian typically follows a Subject-Verb-Object order, similar to English.
- Possessive pronouns: The structure "ми" indicates possession ("my"), as in "главата ми" (my head).
- Case usage: Bulgarian is a highly inflected language, but this lesson sticks to nominative and accusative forms for clarity and simplicity.
Notes on Differences Between English and Bulgarian
While English and Bulgarian share the Subject-Verb-Object order, Bulgarian uses suffixes to indicate possession and the role of nouns in sentences. For example, "главата ми" literally translates as "the head my" but means "my head." This differs from English possessive pronouns that precede the noun.
Additionally, Bulgarian uses specific words to describe sensations like "студ" (cold) in a physical context, which may require explanation depending on context.
Useful Phrases for Practice
- "Това е главата ми." – This is my head.
- "Имам болка в ръката." – I have pain in my arm.
- "Къде ми къде те боли?" – Where does it hurt?
- "Очите ми са зелени." – My eyes are green.
- "Усетих студ в краката." – I felt cold in my feet.
- "Ръцете ми са чисти." – My hands are clean.
