Hi
Do you do private lessons on zoom or anything??
Hi, our schedules are a bit full, but the authors of the textbook “Zdraveite” definitely offer Bulgarian classes: Zhana Zagorova: zhanazagorova.wixsite.com/bulgarian-for-all Margarita Andonova: languageworldma.com/
Nice video 🎉
Wow this lesson was so difficult! Well done! You have a talent!!
Aw thank you! 😊
How many more classes left for course A2? Thank you for all the efforts
There are 2 more lessons (Lessons 11 and 12). We’ll see how exactly we’ll divide them, but that will probably make around 10 videos.
@@Monoglossia Hope you will continue with B1?
@@olgal6674 The "Step by Step" textbook goes only up to level A2 (at least for now), but we'll do our best to continue posting Bulgarian lessons in some form!
If you don't have any known english ancestry it's not likely that you have it in your dna, it's probably a mistake
It might well be, but then again I have no knowledge of any other ancestry apart from Bulgarian - there can be some bits and bobs that I don’t know of
Thank you guys for giving us this course ❤
You’re very welcome!
Thanks for posting these lessons. I'm working my way through them, and I'm sure I'll be revising when I'm finished. I can imagine it must be really difficult and time consuming for you to create all this content. Your work is very much appreciated. I have a small question about the very last section of this lesson (lesson 8, 23.. When you're conjugating two verbs in the past tense, is it not always required to conjugate the second verb? I noticed the first verb is conjugated but not the second in this particular example.
Thank you very much for the kind words! When two verbs are used (in the past but also the present, etc.), they always need to both be conjugated; and the second one is always conjugated in the present tense. In fact, there are no unconjugated verbs in Buglarian as there are no infinitives. However, I think what might be confusing is that the conjugation is not always the same as the one we use in the present simple tense. The reason for this is that many Bulgarian verbs have two forms - perfective and imperfective. When talking in the present tense, we use the imperfective forms, but when we have two verbs together, the second one is always in the perfective form. For example, let's look at ex.23 of lesson 8. First we have 'реших да празнувам' ('I decided to celebrate'). The second verb, 'празнувам' is conjugated in the exact same way as we would in the present simple - 'аз празнувам' ('I celebrate'). However, if we use another verb in the second place, such as 'to send', the combination will be 'реших да изпратя' ('I decided to send'), when in the present tense, we say 'аз изпращам' and not 'аз изпратя'. The reason is that for this verb, the perfective and imperfective forms are different. I hope this helps and I understand if it is confusing!
@@Monoglossia hey, thanks for the detailed response. I've been studying A2 for a couple of years now so I'm familiar with a lot of the rules so while it's difficult, and this is helpful for me. I guess I just need to keep practising to get it to stick and understand it better. Shout out to Alex, who I always identify with as the foreign spouse struggling to pronounce and recall words that are in his head somewhere!! His wife is more patient than mine (but she does try to be supportive) :-)
Big shoutout to you and to Alex, you’re doing great! I bet you get complimented about your Bulgarian a lot by Bulgarians :)
What an amazing young man ❤ Какой милый молодой человек! Иглика, ты как всегда, прекрасна 😘
Спасибо, дорогая Альфия! ❤️😘
Thank you a lot for this course! I enjoyed the lessons and the exercises worked well for me. After reviewing some of the material, I hope to start your A2 course soon. I was wondering if you could perhaps make a video about the differences between the Bulgarian and Macedonian languages one day. I've heard the languages are very similar, with the difference being primarily a consequence of Serbian influence on Macedonian - but I couldn't find much examples online. I think it would be an interesting topic. Greetings from Amsterdam!
You're very welcome, we're glad to hear about your progress! Great idea, we'll definitely see into it! Maybe in a collab with a Macedonian KZreadr.
Your teaching is awesome
Thank you very much 😊
❤❤❤
Thank you
Hi, my name is Пол call America I’ve been immersed in the Bulgarian community for five years. I’m just starting to get serious about learning Bulgarian. It is a very hard language to learn these videos have been very helpful in my learning process thank you so much. By the way my wife, Svetla is from Bulgaria I love the Bulgaria culture, the language the people and of course the food. I’ve already gained 20 pounds from her cooking lol Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.
Здравей, Пол! Thank you for the kind words. We’re glad you’re enjoying the Bulgarian language, culture and food, we do, too 🙌
Hi, a little doubt, what's the meaning of недей? I know it is a negative imperative, but I'm not really sure how to use it.
In isolation, it just means “Don’t!” It can also be used in the negative imperative - “Недей да правиш това!” is the same as “Не прави това!” (“Don’t do this!”)
Много Ви благодаря. Бих искала да се срещтам с Вас по-често❤️

Благодаря много ! )
Hi guys, I have a question, why is it пий the imperative of to drink? Is it that the verbs that end wit two vowels make imperative with the vowel + й? just like играя ? And a question out of the topic, how do you make the conjugation of verb "to hide" - крия? would it be "той крий" for "he hides" ?
Yes, apart from some exceptions, that's absolutely correct - if a verb ends with two vowels (the last one being -я in the 1st person singular), the imperative ends in -й. The conjugation of крия is: аз крия ти криеш той/тя/то крие ние крием вие криете те крият Also, note that "той крие" means "he hides (something)". If there is no object, the reflexive form should be used - аз се крия, ти се криеш, ... Hope this helps!
@@Monoglossia Thank you guys ) Does the word "крий" exist?
Yes, крий is the imperative 🙂
Nice work !
Hello guys, nice video and super useful. Please, don´t stop making these bulgarian lessons, they have helped me more than any other course. You don't know how thankful I am with all your work. I wanted to ask you if you know where can bulgarian be certificated, for example for A2 - B1 level. I don't need it right now, but I would like to know if there are any online universities that offer this certificate. I plan to move there and I would like to have this document, if it´s possible to get it, of course. I searched and found that Sofia and Veliko Trnovo universities offer courses, but I'm not really sure how to contact them
Hello! The most popular option by far would be to be certified by the Department of Language Teaching and Continuing Qualification of Sofia University - deo.uni-sofia.bg/en/ They provide these emails for contact - [email protected]; [email protected]

Здравейте! Аз съм Алекс. Съм от Румъния. Обичам много български език. Обичам по закуска сандвич и кафе с мляко. We have many words in Romanian from Bulgarian. And very interesting is the Romanian word "zacusca" which actually in Romanian is a tomato and eggplant salad. I wonder how this happened during the centuries. It seems to be a word borrowed from Bulgarian. Do/Did Bulgarians use to eat tomato and eggplant salad for breakfast?
Здравей, Алекс! Wow, that’s very interesting. I don’t think that eggplant has ever been a breakfast item for Bulgarians (it’s seen as quite heavy). However, “закуска” does not mean only “breakfast”, especially in the past - it can be any snack or small amount of food (etymologically I think it means something like “to take small bites”), so maybe it fits as something easy to make that’s less than a whole meal 😊 Please do keep us posted about fun Romanian-Bulgarian links!

Very interesting. How do u keep up ur language learning?
I still attend a couple of language courses and watch language videos among others when relaxing after work. Also, it feels great when I can practice in “real life”. I was just addressed and asked for directions in English, French and Spanish at the station 😊
@Monoglossia How is you Greek learning going? Will you be doing an exam this year?
It is going well, but as this year I’m quite busy with work and the PhD, I’m having fewer classes. I think it would be best to wait until next year for the next level exam.
günaydın ^^
