Key verbs such as грижа се за (to take care of) and adjectives expressing calmness or healthiness will be introduced.
Language Notes: Differences between English and Bulgarian
In Bulgarian, reflexive verbs often use the particle се (e.g., грижа се за means 'I take care of'), which can be challenging for English speakers as there is no direct equivalent. Also, Bulgarian uses the definite article suffixes attached to the word (e.g., грижата – 'the care'), differing from English separate articles.
Here are some useful phrases:
- Да се отпусна – to relax myself
- Правя упражнения – I do exercises
- Известно време – some time (duration)
- Чувствам се добре – I feel good
Understanding these structures will help you communicate more naturally about daily routines and mental well-being in Bulgarian.
