Important Language Notes
In Bulgarian, nouns have gender and decline based on case, which can be quite different from English, especially in formal and legal contexts like insurance. For example, застраховка is feminine, and its form changes in plural (застраховки) or possessive phrases. Also, Bulgarian often uses prefixes and suffixes to modify meanings in a way English does not.
Some useful phrases to navigate this topic are:
- Да сключа застраховка – to take out/purchase insurance
- Да подам претенция – to file a claim
- Каква е застрахователната сума? – What is the insurance amount?
Understanding these differences helps learners communicate effectively regarding insurance matters.
