Review Summary

  • С / Без + [Noun]
  • Adjective Stem + -о
  • [Action 1], затова [Action 2]

सामान्य गलतियाँ

Using an adjective ('good') instead of an adverb ('well') to describe a verb. Adverbs in Bulgarian usually end in -o or are irregular like 'добре'.

Wrong: Аз говоря добър.
सही: Аз говоря добре.

Confusing 'from' (от) with 'towards' (към). 'От' is the starting point, 'към' is the destination.

Wrong: Отивам от София.
सही: Отивам към София.

While 'много' can follow a verb, when used for emphasis of desire, it often precedes the verb in natural speech.

Wrong: Аз искам много кафе.
सही: Аз много искам кафе.

सामान्य प्रश्न (6)

Use 'със' only when the next word starts with 'с' or 'з'. This is for phonetic ease.

Yes, in almost all contexts, без translates to 'without'. It can also mean 'minus' in math or 'to' in time-telling.
Yes, него is the objective form for both 'he' and 'it' (masculine/neuter). So без него can mean 'without him' or 'without it'.
