Generally no. Descriptions of states or weather use the Imperfect. Aorist is for changes in state.
It's a historical development in the language. Both end in -ше, so you rely on context or pronouns.
Bulgarian values 'evidentiality'—knowing whether the speaker saw the event or just heard about it. This adds precision to storytelling.
No. If you use the Perfect for a witnessed specific time (e.g., 'Yesterday I have eaten'), it sounds like you have amnesia or are unsure of your own life.
