ヒントとコツ (4)

💡

The 'Maybe' Shortcut

If you are unsure of the conjugation for 'мога', just use 'Може би' + the future tense. It's a safe fallback for beginners.

💡

The 'Contract' Test

If you could imagine the sentence written in a contract, 'длъжен съм' is likely the correct choice over 'трябва'.

💡

The 'Is' Rule

Always include 'е' (is) when using 'ми' (dative). You can often drop it with 'ме' (accusative) in speech.

💡

The Neuter Rule

Always end your impersonal adjectives in '-о'. Think of it as the 'neutral' default for general statements.

よくある間違い

The verb 'трябва' is impersonal and never conjugates for the subject. It remains 'трябва' regardless of who is performing the action.

Wrong: Аз трябвам да работя.
正解: Аз трябва да работя.

The adjective 'длъжен' must agree in gender with the subject. Since 'той' is masculine, use 'длъжен'.

Wrong: Той е длъжно да работи.
正解: Той е длъжен да работи.

Impersonal modal expressions in Bulgarian almost always require the 'да' connector before the following verb.

Wrong: Може работи.
正解: Може да работи.

よくある質問 (6)

No, it is an impersonal verb and stays 'трябва' for all persons.
No, use 'имам нужда от' for objects.
No, 'Може би' is an adverb and doesn't take 'да'. Say 'Може би ще дойда' or 'Може да дойда'.
'Може ли' is for permission/requests ('May I?'). 'Мога ли' is for ability ('Am I capable?').
Usually no. It sounds too dramatic or formal. Use трябва да тръгвам instead.
It is very common in both, but in speaking, it is reserved for serious topics or formal situations.
