Lesson Overview: Our House in Bulgarian

This lesson introduces you to basic vocabulary and expressions related to rooms and furniture inside a house in Bulgarian. It is designed for beginners at A1 level who want to describe and talk about their home environment.

Key Vocabulary: Rooms and Furniture

You will learn the names of common rooms and furnishings found in a typical Bulgarian house. Important words include кухня (kitchen), спалня (bedroom), баня (bathroom), and хол (living room). Knowing these words helps you describe where things are and talk about daily life at home.

Using Simple Sentences and Questions

The lesson also practices forming simple questions such as "Къде е дневната в нашата къща?" meaning "Where is the living room in our house?" and basic statements like "На втория етаж има кухня и дневната" (On the second floor, there is a kitchen and living room). These structures allow you to communicate details about your living space clearly.

Examples of Common Expressions

  • Апартаментът има три спални и една голяма кухня. (The apartment has three bedrooms and one large kitchen.)
  • Във всяка спалня има гардероб. (In every bedroom, there is a wardrobe.)
  • Кухнята е голяма и светла. (The kitchen is big and bright.)

Difference in Sentence Structure Compared to English

Bulgarian sentences often include definite articles attached at the end of nouns (e.g., къщата means "the house" where "къща" is "house" and "-та" is the definite article). This contrasts with English, where the article "the" comes before the noun. Additionally, Bulgarian frequently drops the subject pronoun when it is clear from the verb form, which might feel a bit different from English sentence patterns.

Useful Phrases and Their English Equivalents

  • Къде е дневната? — Where is the living room?
  • Има хол, кухня и баня. — There is a living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
  • На втория етаж е спалнята. — The bedroom is on the second floor.
  • В банята има тоалетна и голямо огледало. — In the bathroom there is a toilet and a large mirror.

Summary

This lesson empowers you to describe your home environment in Bulgarian using essential nouns related to rooms and furniture, with simple sentence structures and questions suitable for everyday conversations. Mastering these basics forms a strong foundation for talking about daily living spaces.
