Welcome to Your Bulgarian Lesson on Personal Hygiene

This A2 level lesson focuses on essential vocabulary and expressions related to personal hygiene in Bulgarian. You will explore practical dialogues about shopping for hygiene products, daily hygiene routines at home, and buying hygiene products at the pharmacy. The content aims to help you understand and communicate effectively in everyday situations involving hygiene.

Key Vocabulary and Phrases

  • шампоан (shampoo)
  • сапун (soap)
  • дезодорант (deodorant)
  • четка за зъби (toothbrush)
  • зъби (teeth)
  • мивка (sink)
  • паста за зъби (toothpaste)

Lesson Highlights

You'll practice common dialogues such as:

  • Buying shampoo and soap at the store.
  • Describing your daily hygiene routine including brushing your teeth and washing your face.
  • Asking for specific hygiene products in a pharmacy and understanding recommendations.

The lesson also includes verb conjugation exercises, focusing on verbs like отивам (to go), избирам (to choose), използвам (to use), and пазарувам (to shop), all essential for describing actions related to hygiene practices.

Grammar and Expressions

Bulgarian verbs in this lesson are presented in the present tense, helping you describe current routines and habits. You will learn to construct sentences such as Всяка сутрин аз се мия с топла вода. (Every morning I wash with warm water.)

Notice that Bulgarian uses reflexive pronouns (се) frequently with daily hygiene verbs, which is a concept to pay attention to as it differs from English constructions.

Important Differences and Useful Expressions

Unlike English, Bulgarian frequently uses reflexive verbs for many hygiene habits, for example:

  • мия се — "I wash myself" (often translated simply as "I wash" in English)
  • чета се (not in this lesson but as an example of reflexivity)

Useful phrases you will encounter include:

  • Искам да купя шампоан. — "I want to buy shampoo."
  • Колко струва това? — "How much does this cost?"
  • Използвам сапун и вода. — "I use soap and water."

This lesson offers ample opportunity to build practical vocabulary and to better understand how Bulgarian expresses personal care routines compared to English.
