Note on Language Differences
Bulgarian uses gendered adjective endings to agree with the subject's gender, which is different from English where adjectives do not change form. For example, "щастлив" is masculine, and "щастлива" is feminine. Also, Bulgarian often expresses feelings and states by using reflexive verbs and personal endings, which learners should pay attention to during study.
