सामान्य गलतियाँ

You must conjugate the verb for the subject 'I'. 'Имам' is the correct form for 'I'.

Wrong: Аз има кола.
सही: Аз имам кола.

Bulgarian uses a special negated verb form 'нямам' instead of 'не имам'.

Wrong: Не имам време.
सही: Нямам време.

The 'ли' particle is usually placed immediately after the verb. Adding 'ти' is redundant.

Wrong: Имаш ли ти кола?
सही: Имаш ли кола?
