सामान्य गलतियाँ

In Bulgarian, we always put a comma before 'за да' when it starts a clause.

Wrong: Отивам до магазина за да купя хляб (Missing comma).
सही: Отивам до магазина, за да купя хляб.

'Поради' must be followed by a noun (e.g., 'поради дъжда').

Wrong: Поради, че вали (Using preposition as conjunction).
सही: Защото вали.

'Следователно' works best as a mid-sentence connector to show logical progression.

Wrong: Следователно аз съм щастлив (Too informal).
सही: Щастлив съм, следователно живея добре.

सामान्य प्रश्न (6)

No, the verb after 'за да' must be in the present tense, even if the main action happened in the past.
You can use 'за да' even if the subjects are different, e.g., 'Работя, за да учиш ти.'
Only if it's a one-word answer to a question (e.g., '— Защо? — Защото.'). In a full sentence, the comma is mandatory.
'Защото' is more neutral and usually follows the main clause. 'Понеже' is slightly more informal and can easily start a sentence.
Mostly yes, but 'понеже' is better for starting sentences, while 'защото' is better for answering 'Why?' (Защо?) directly.
It is neutral. It's fine for both friends and bosses. 'Тъй като' is the formal one.
