Introduction to Numbers and Counting in Bulgarian
This lesson covers the fundamentals of numbers and counting in Bulgarian, designed for A1 beginners. You'll learn to recognize, read, and use basic numbers from one to one hundred, understand their pronunciation, and apply them in everyday contexts such as telling the date, counting objects, and discussing quantities.
Key Content and Vocabulary
Basic Numbers (1 to 100)
Familiarize yourself with cardinal numbers such as един (1), пет (5), двадесет (20), тридесет (30), and седемдесет (70). These form the foundation of counting and are essential for communication in daily life.
Counting Objects and Quantities
Learn expressions useful for counting in various situations, like ordering food or buying tickets. Examples include две ябълки (two apples) and един банан (one banana), illustrating how numbers agree with nouns.
Dates and Time
Numbers are crucial for stating dates, such as using първи (first), десетина (about ten), and хиляда (thousand) when discussing days and years.
Important Bulgarian Features Compared to English
Bulgarian uses a Cyrillic alphabet, and number words have grammatical features like gender agreement and case, which do not exist in English. For example, the number one changes according to the gender of the noun it modifies: един (masculine), една (feminine), and едно (neuter). This affects how you form phrases like две ябълки (two apples - feminine plural) versus два банана (two bananas - masculine plural).
Useful Phrases and Words
- Колко ябълки има на масата? — How many apples are on the table?
- Аз броя до десет, а ти какво броиш? — I count to ten, and what do you count?
- Тоя трява да каже номерата сериозно и ясно. — He needs to say the numbers clearly and seriously.
- Имам две ябълки и един банан за закуска. — I have two apples and one banana for breakfast.
