Grammar Highlight: Using Adjectives with Movies
In Bulgarian, adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. For example, when describing a movie (which is masculine), adjectives take masculine singular form:
- интересен филм — interesting movie
- страшен филм — scary movie
Relevant Differences Between English and Bulgarian
Unlike English, Bulgarian uses the Cyrillic alphabet and many movie genres have direct borrowings with adjustments to spelling and pronunciation, such as "комедия" for comedy and "трилър" for thriller. Additionally, Bulgarian adjectives change according to gender and number, while English adjectives remain the same.
Useful phrases to compare:
- What genre of movie do you like? — Кой жанр филми харесваш?
- My favorite movie is a drama. — Любимият ми филм е драма.
- I don’t like horror movies. — Не харесвам ужаси.
