- Избирам (izbiram) – to choose/select: Important for customizing orders (e.g., ingredients).

Differences Between English and Bulgarian in This Context
Bulgarian verbs in this lesson are often accompanied by prefixes that modify their meaning, such as поръчвам (order) and обаждам се (call oneself = to call). Verb conjugations reflect person and number, so the endings change depending on who is performing the action. The word order is flexible but typically follows Subject-Verb-Object.
Unlike English, Bulgarian uses the verb "искам" to express desire (I want), which is important when indicating what food you'd like to order.
Some useful phrases with their approximate English equivalents include:
- Поръчвам пица за вкъщи — "I order a pizza for takeaway"
- Обаждам се да поръчам — "I am calling to order"
- Добави ли? — "Did you add?"
- Ще бъде готова за 30 минути — "It will be ready in 30 minutes"
