The 'Heading To' Rule

Always use 'за' with 'тръгвам' (to leave). 'Тръгвам за София' sounds much more natural than 'Тръгвам към София'.

Review Summary

  • за + noun/pronoun

常见错误

In Bulgarian, we use 'за' (about) when thinking about someone, not 'на' (to).

Wrong: Аз мисля на Мария.
正确: Аз мисля за Мария.

Actually, this is correct, but students often forget the preposition entirely! Remember to always include 'за'.

Wrong: Това е за ядене.
正确: Това е за ядене.

'За' cannot end a sentence in Bulgarian; it must be followed by the noun it refers to.

Wrong: Говоря с Мария за.
正确: Говоря с Мария за времето.

常见问题 (2)

No, in modern Bulgarian 'зад' is used for 'behind'. 'За' is strictly for 'for', 'about', 'price', and 'destination'.
In Bulgarian, the verb 'чакам' (to wait) is transitive, meaning it takes the object directly without a preposition. Just say 'Чакам те'.
