Review Summary

  • Tozi/Tazi/Tova/Tezi + Noun
  • Tova + e + Adjective/Noun

Häufige Fehler

Kniga is feminine, so it must take the feminine demonstrative 'Tazi'.

Wrong: Този книга (This book)
Richtig: Тази книга

You don't add the definite article suffix when using a demonstrative; the demonstrative itself marks it as definite.

Wrong: Този човекът (This man)
Richtig: Този човек

If referring to a singular idea, use 'Tova' instead of the plural 'Tezi'.

Wrong: Тези е добра (These are good)
Richtig: Това е добре

Next Steps
