The 'Heading To' Rule

Always use 'за' with 'тръгвам' (to leave). 'Тръгвам за София' sounds much more natural than 'Тръгвам към София'.

Review Summary

  • за + noun/pronoun

सामान्य गलतियाँ

In Bulgarian, we use 'за' (about) when thinking about someone, not 'на' (to).

Wrong: Аз мисля на Мария.
सही: Аз мисля за Мария.

Actually, this is correct, but students often forget the preposition entirely! Remember to always include 'за'.

Wrong: Това е за ядене.
सही: Това е за ядене.

'За' cannot end a sentence in Bulgarian; it must be followed by the noun it refers to.

Wrong: Говоря с Мария за.
सही: Говоря с Мария за времето.

सामान्य प्रश्न (2)

No, in modern Bulgarian 'зад' is used for 'behind'. 'За' is strictly for 'for', 'about', 'price', and 'destination'.
In Bulgarian, the verb 'чакам' (to wait) is transitive, meaning it takes the object directly without a preposition. Just say 'Чакам те'.
