Review Summary

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

よくある間違い

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.
正解: Аз говоря добре.

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

Wrong: Отивам от София.
正解: 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.
正解: Аз много искам кафе.
