Grammar Highlights
The lesson reviews the use of modal verbs like искам да (want to) to express desires, and verbs of intention. It also covers common verb forms for talking about future plans and aspirations, emphasizing correct verb conjugations and sentence structure for clear communication about travel goals.
Comparing English and Bulgarian Travel Expressions
Bulgarian typically uses the verb искам plus the particle да followed by the verb in the present tense to express desires (“I want to go” = „Искам да отида“). In contrast, English uses the infinitive directly after 'want'. Another difference is the use of the verb мечтая which literally means ‘to dream’, often used to express a wish or aspiration. This gives Bulgarian a poetic nuance when talking about future travel plans.
