टिप्स और ट्रिक्स (3)

💡

Drop the pronoun

You don't need 'Аз' or 'Ти' every time. The verb ending tells the story.

Drop the Pronoun

In Bulgarian, you can drop 'Аз', 'Ти', etc., because the verb ending tells you who is speaking.

Review Summary

  • Stem + а/я
  • Stem + е
  • Stem + и

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You added the 'you' ending (-ш) to the 'I' form. Always match the ending with the pronoun.

Wrong: Аз не четаш.
सही: Аз не чета.

When asking a question, use the second person form. It sounds unnatural to ask yourself in this way.

Wrong: Пия ли аз кафе?
सही: Пиеш ли кафе?

In Bulgarian, 'не' must come directly before the verb, not after it.

Wrong: Аз пия не кафе.
सही: Аз не пия кафе.
