💡

When in doubt in a casual conversation, use 'трябва да се' + verb. It's easier because you don't have to worry about participle agreement.

🎯

The 'Adjective' Trick

Treat the past passive participle exactly like an adjective. If you can describe the subject with an adjective, you can use a participle with the same ending.

🎯

The 'By' Rule

Avoid using 'от' (by) with the 'се' passive. If you need to mention who did it, use the active voice or the 'съм' + participle passive.

よくある間違い

In Bulgarian, we avoid using 'от мен' in passive voice. It is more natural to use the active voice instead.

Wrong: Книгата е прочетена от мен.
正解: Книгата беше прочетена от мен.

Do not double the passive markers. 'Трябва да бъде' is sufficient.

Wrong: Трябва да се бъде направено.
正解: Трябва да бъде направено.

The reflexive particle 'се' must be placed correctly within the compound tense structure.

Wrong: Това е направило се.
正解: Това се е направило.

よくある質問 (6)

Yes, може works exactly the same way to express possibility: Може да се направи (It can be done).
In Bulgarian, да is a modal particle that connects the modal verb to the main verb. It's mandatory in these structures.
Yes, but it often sounds very formal or like the person is a victim. Той е бил ударен (He has been hit) is fine, but for social actions, we prefer active voice.
Беше направен is the simple past passive (Aorist). Е бил направен is the perfect passive. Use the former for specific past events and the latter for results or unspecified times.
No, only with transitive verbs (verbs that take a direct object).
'Продавам' means 'I sell' (Active), while 'Продава се' means 'It is being sold' (Passive).
