Häufige Fehler

Using the masculine adjective instead of the adverb. To describe a verb (singing), you must use the adverb form ending in -o.

Wrong: Той пее хубав.
Richtig: Той пее хубаво.

While 'тука' is heard in informal speech, 'тук' is the standard correct form for A2 learners.

Wrong: Аз съм тука.
Richtig: Аз съм тук.

While word order is flexible, adverbs of manner usually follow the verb they modify for emphasis and natural flow.

Wrong: Той бързо работи.
Richtig: Той работи бързо.
