Language Notes
Gender and Number: Bulgarian nouns for furniture are gendered (for example, "диван" is masculine, "масичка" is feminine). Remember that adjectives and numbers must agree in gender and number.
Definite Article Usage: Unlike English, Bulgarian attaches a definite article at the end of the noun. For example, "хол" becomes "хола" to mean "the living room".
Useful Phrases:
- имам – I have
- удобен диван – comfortable sofa
- голяма маса – large table
- четири стола – four chairs
- две нощни шкафчета – two bedside tables
In English, articles come before nouns, but in Bulgarian, they are postfixed. Plural formation also differs, so practicing with real examples helps internalize these patterns.
