اشتباهات رایج

Bulgarian usually drops the subject pronoun if it is clear. Also, the double negative is mandatory.

صحیح: Не виждам нищо.

'Ли' never comes at the start of a sentence; it usually follows the word it emphasizes.

Wrong: Ли си гладен?
صحیح: Гладен ли си?

The verb 'имам' (to have) has a special negative form 'нямам'.

Wrong: Не имам.
صحیح: Нямам.
