Days of the Week and Parts of the Day in Bulgarian
This lesson introduces you to the basic vocabulary and common expressions related to the days of the week and the parts of the day in Bulgarian. Understanding these concepts is essential for everyday communication, scheduling, and describing routines.
Days of the Week
In Bulgarian, the days of the week are used frequently in both spoken and written language. Here are some key phrases to get you started:
- Кой е часът в момента? – What time is it now?
- В петък вечер отивам на кино с колеги. – On Friday evening, I go to the cinema with colleagues.
Note how days of the week are capitalized and often combined with times of the day to specify exact moments.
Parts of the Day
Bulgarian divides the day into several parts, each with specific terms:
- сутрин – morning
- обед – noon
- вечер – evening
- събота and неделя – Saturday and Sunday (weekend days)
Example sentences:
- В понеделник сутрин започвам работа в осем часа. – On Monday morning, I start work at eight o’clock.
- Обичам да чета книги вечер след работа. – I like to read books in the evening after work.
Useful Notes on Bulgarian Time Expressions
Bulgarian often specifies time by mentioning the part of the day coupled with the hour, such as "осем часа" (eight o’clock). When speaking about days, the definite article is frequently used, for example, "в петък" (on Friday).
Unlike English, Bulgarian usage sometimes places the subject or object differently in a sentence for emphasis or style, but the examples given follow the most common structure.
Key Vocabulary and Phrases
- работа – work
- започвам – to start
- вечер – evening
- обичам – I like
- книга (plural книги) – book
Practical Usage
Practice forming sentences about your weekly schedule and daily routines, such as when you start work, what you do in the evening, or plans on the weekend. Paying attention to the definite article and time expressions will help you communicate more naturally.
