Comparing English and Bulgarian Habits Vocabulary
Unlike English, Bulgarian uses compound nouns like здравословни навици (healthy habits) literally translating as "health-related habits," emphasizing the adjective здравословни (healthy). The verb forms also differ; Bulgarian often uses the present tense with modal verbs to express advice (e.g., трябва да), which is important for making recommendations.
Useful phrases include:
да спазвам диета – to follow a diet
да водя здравословен начин на живот – to lead a healthy lifestyle
This rich vocabulary will empower you to talk naturally about your own and others' habits, making your Bulgarian conversations more engaging and informative.
