Grammar Highlights
This lesson emphasizes the present tense conjugation of regular and some irregular verbs related to daily activities. You'll also learn to use time-related adverbs and prepositional phrases correctly to specify when activities take place.
Example sentence: Ставам в 7 часа сутрин. (I get up at 7 o'clock in the morning.)
Present Tense Conjugation
Many verbs follow a predictable pattern for the present tense in Bulgarian, but pay attention to verb endings that change according to the subject pronoun. For instance, the verb ставам changes to ставам (I get up), ставаш (you get up), става (he/she gets up).
Differences Between English and Bulgarian
Bulgarian does not use auxiliary verbs to form the present tense as English does; instead, it relies on verb endings. Additionally, Bulgarian places time expressions often at the end of the sentence, which may differ from English word order.
For example, in English we say, "I get up in the morning," while in Bulgarian it is "Ставам в 7 часа сутрин." Literally, "Get up I at 7 o'clock in the morning."
Some useful phrases for daily routine conversations:
- Как започваш деня си? – How do you start your day?
- Обядвам навреме. – I have lunch on time.
- Лягам си рано вечер. – I go to bed early in the evening.
