Explicação телевизор in your Level:
At the A1 level, 'телевизор' is one of the essential nouns you learn when describing a home. You should be able to identify it as a masculine noun. Focus on simple sentences like 'Имам телевизор' (I have a TV) or 'Това е телевизор' (This is a TV). You will learn it alongside other furniture items like 'диван' (sofa) and 'маса' (table). The goal is to recognize the word in a list of household objects and understand its basic function. You should also learn the basic verb 'гледам' (to watch) which is most commonly paired with it. Understanding that the stress is on the third syllable (te-le-VÍ-zor) is important for basic pronunciation. At this stage, don't worry too much about the complex definite articles, just focus on the base form of the word and its plural 'телевизори'. You might also learn the colors to describe it, such as 'черен телевизор' (black TV).
At the A2 level, you start using 'телевизор' in more descriptive contexts, such as shopping or giving simple instructions. You should be able to use the definite articles correctly in simple sentences: 'Къде е телевизорът?' (Where is the TV?). You will also learn the 'count form' used after numbers, which is very common when talking about electronics stores: 'В магазина има десет телевизора'. You can describe the TV using more adjectives like 'нов' (new), 'стар' (old), 'голям' (big), or 'малък' (small). You should also be able to use the verbs 'пускам' (to turn on) and 'спирам' (to turn off) in the imperative form: 'Пусни телевизора, моля' (Turn on the TV, please). This level also introduces the concept of location, such as 'върху телевизора' (on top of the TV) or 'пред телевизора' (in front of the TV).

You should be able to handle more complex grammar, such as using the word in different cases with prepositions: 'Говорихме за новия телевизор' (We talked about the new TV). You will also distinguish between 'телевизор' and 'телевизия' more clearly. You might discuss the features of a 'смарт телевизор' (smart TV) and compare different models using comparative and superlative adjectives: 'Този телевизор е по-добър от онзи' (This TV is better than that one). Your vocabulary will expand to include related items like 'дистанционно' (remote control) and 'кабел' (cable).

Exemplos Notas e dicas

телевизор em 30 segundos

  • Телевизор means the physical television set device.
  • It is a masculine noun with plural form телевизори.
  • Commonly used with verbs like 'гледам' and 'пускам'.
  • Distinguished from 'телевизия' (the service or medium).

The Bulgarian word телевизор (televizor) refers strictly to the physical hardware device—the television set itself. In the Bulgarian language, it is crucial to distinguish between the device (телевизор) and the medium or the broadcasting service, which is called телевизия. When a Bulgarian person says they are going to buy a new 'телевизор', they are talking about visiting an electronics store like Technopolis or Technomarket to pick out a flat-screen LED or OLED panel. Historically, the television set held a place of immense prestige in the Bulgarian household during the socialist era. Owning a 'Sofia' or 'Opera' brand television was a mark of middle-class stability. Today, the word is used in every household, though the context has shifted from terrestrial broadcasting to smart devices connected to the internet.

Etymology
The word is a loanword, combining the Greek 'tele' (far) and the Latin 'visor' (seer), arriving in Bulgarian likely through Russian influence during the mid-20th century.
Grammar Category
It is a masculine noun. In the plural, it becomes 'телевизори'. When used with numbers, it takes the count form 'телевизора' (e.g., два телевизора).

Новият ми телевизор има много голям екран и страхотно качество на картината.

Translation: My new television has a very large screen and great picture quality.

Usage of the word extends beyond just the living room. You will hear it in repair shops (поправка на телевизори), in discussions about electricity consumption, and in metaphors about being 'plugged in' to the news. Bulgaian culture, like many others, transitioned from 'the blue screen' being the primary source of family entertainment to it being a secondary screen for gaming or streaming. However, the term remains the standard way to refer to any monitor specifically designed for broadcast or media consumption in the home.

Къде е дистанционното за този телевизор?

Translation: Where is the remote for this television?
Social Context
In Bulgarian villages, the television is often the center of the 'mehana' or living area, usually left on as background noise during dinner.

Старият телевизор на баба още работи.

Translation: Grandma's old TV still works.

Using 'телевизор' correctly requires understanding Bulgarian noun inflection and article usage. As a masculine noun ending in a consonant, it follows standard declension patterns. When you are talking about 'the TV' as a specific object already mentioned, you must use the definite article. In Bulgarian, this is '-ът' (full article for subjects) or '-а' (short article for objects).

Subject Position
Телевизорът е включен. (The TV is on.) Here, 'телевизорът' is the subject of the sentence.
Object Position
Купих телевизора вчера. (I bought the TV yesterday.) Here, 'телевизора' is the direct object.

Този телевизор е твърде скъп за моя бюджет.

Translation: This television is too expensive for my budget.

When describing the TV, adjectives must agree in gender. Since 'телевизор' is masculine, you use the masculine forms of adjectives like 'нов' (new), 'голям' (big), or 'черен' (black). For example, 'модерен телевизор'. If you are talking about multiple units, the plural 'телевизори' is used with plural adjectives: 'модерни телевизори'.

В магазина има много различни телевизори.

Translation: There are many different televisions in the store.

In common verbs, 'телевизор' is frequently paired with 'пускам' (to turn on/start) and 'спирам' (to turn off/stop). Example: 'Пусни телевизора, мачът започва!' (Turn on the TV, the match is starting!). You will also see it with 'гледам' (to watch), although technically you watch the program *on* the TV.

Тя прекарва целия ден пред телевизора.

Translation: She spends the whole day in front of the television.
Prepositional Usage
'По телевизора' (on the TV set) vs 'По телевизията' (on the television broadcast). While 'по телевизията' is more common for news, 'гледам го на телевизора' focuses on the screen.

You will encounter the word 'телевизор' in several distinct environments in Bulgaria. The most common is the retail sector. In large electronics chains like 'Technopolis', 'Technomarket', or 'Zora', signs for 'Телевизори' will be prominent. You will hear sales associates asking: 'Какъв размер телевизор търсите?' (What size television are you looking for?).

Продавачът ми препоръча този смарт телевизор.

Translation: The salesman recommended this smart TV to me.

Another common place is in household settings. Bulgarian families are known for their hospitality, and often the TV is part of the social atmosphere. You might hear a host say: 'Намали телевизора, за да можем да си говорим.' (Turn down the TV so we can talk.). It is also a frequent subject of complaints regarding technology: 'Телевизорът пак се развали!' (The TV broke again!).

In the workplace, specifically in advertising or media agencies, 'телевизор' might be discussed in terms of hardware placement or testing. If you are watching Bulgarian news, they might mention 'пред малкия екран' (in front of the small screen), which is a poetic synonym for 'пред телевизора'.

Децата не трябва да седят твърде близо до телевизора.

Translation: Children shouldn't sit too close to the TV.
Technical Context
You will hear it in discussions about 'кабелна телевизия' (cable TV) where the technician asks to see where the 'телевизор' is located to plug in the decoder.

The most frequent mistake for English speakers learning Bulgarian is the confusion between телевизор (the device) and телевизия (the concept/broadcast). In English, 'television' covers both. In Bulgarian, if you say 'Гледам телевизор', it literally means you are staring at the plastic and glass object. While natives will understand you, the more natural phrase for watching a show is 'Гледам телевизия'.

Грешка: Работя в телевизор. / Правилно: Работя в телевизия.

Note: You work in a TV station (телевизия), not inside a TV set (телевизор).

Another common error involves the definite article. Since 'телевизор' is masculine, learners often forget whether to use '-ът' or '-а'. Remember: if the TV is doing the action (e.g., 'Телевизорът не работи' - The TV isn't working), use '-ът'. If you are doing something to the TV (e.g., 'Поправих телевизора' - I fixed the TV), use '-а'.

Pluralization is also a pitfall. English speakers might try to say 'телевизори' after a number, but Bulgarian requires the count form 'телевизора'. 'Три телевизора' is correct; 'три телевизори' is incorrect. This is a subtle rule that distinguishes beginners from intermediate speakers.

Грешка: Имам два телевизори. / Правилно: Имам два телевизора.

Preposition Confusion
Using 'в телевизора' (inside the TV) when you mean 'по телевизора' (on the TV). Unless you are talking about the internal circuits, use 'по'.

While 'телевизор' is the standard term, there are several related words you should know to sound more like a native speaker or to be more precise in technical contexts.

Екран (Ekran)
Meaning 'screen'. Often used when talking about the quality of the display specifically. Example: 'Този телевизор има голям екран.'
Приемник (Priemnik)
Literally 'receiver'. This is a more technical or old-fashioned term. It can refer to the TV set or a set-top box (decoder).
Монитор (Monitor)
Used for computer screens. Sometimes people use a monitor as a TV, but the distinction remains clear in Bulgarian.

Той не гледа телевизор, а ползва лаптопа си.

Translation: He doesn't watch TV; he uses his laptop.

In slang or informal settings, you might hear 'плазма' (plasma) even if the TV is an LED, simply because 'плазма' became a synonym for 'flat-screen TV' in the early 2000s. There is also the diminutive 'телевизорче' (televizorche), used affectionately for a small TV, perhaps one in a kitchen or a caravan.

Купихме малко телевизорче за кухнята.

Translation: We bought a small little TV for the kitchen.
