here is some information about the articles in Bulgarian language:


In modern Bulgarian, definiteness is expressed by a definite article which is postfixed to the noun, much like in the Scandinavian languages or Romanian (indefinite: човек, "person"; definite: човекът, "the person") or to the first nominal constituent of definite noun phrases (indefinite: добър човек, "a good person"; definite: добрият човек, "the good person"). There are four singular definite articles. Again, the choice between them is largely determined by the noun's ending in the singular.[9] Nouns that end in a consonant and are masculine use –ът/–ят, when they are grammatical subjects, and –а/–я elsewhere (all four endings are normally pronounced [ɤ]). Nouns that end in a consonant and are feminine, as well as nouns that end in –а/–я (most of which are feminine, too) use –та. Nouns that end in –е/–о use –то.

The plural definite article is –те for all nouns except for those, whose plural form ends in –а/–я; these get –тa instead. When postfixed to adjectives the definite articles are –ят/–я for masculine gender (again, with the longer form being reserved for grammatical subjects), –та for feminine gender, –то for neuter gender, and –те for plural.

i hope i didn't make a mess in your head with all this:d

can someone please tell me what does "svarshilo" mean?
thanks

"svarshilo" comes from the verb "svarshvam" which means "to finish","to end","to complete"...so maybe sth like "it is over"..What you want to say?

thanks sweety 09. I was trying to translate"nishto ne e svarshilo " but not sure if it's svarshvam. I'm getting confused sometimes as the ending of the word changes. like znam and znaq

"znam" and "znaq" means the same things "i know"...and "nishto ne e svarshilo" mean "nothing is over"

Hi!I'm from Burgaria so I can help you with something just ask me I'm not so good with english but I have a lot of dictionaries and some student books

i have a question..

for "nishto ne e svarshilo"
would it be.

nishto - nothing
e - is
svarshilio - over.
ne - no

or something?

so would it be like "nothing no is over"

basically my question is - why do you have to have a -ne? does the -ne make it a negative sentence?


hope thats not confusing. hahah

well in English there can't be two negative words in one sentence-like "nothing isn't over" which is the meaning of this..You say "nothing is over"..in Bulgarian we use the word "ne" for any kinds of rejection..i mean it is "no" or "don't"..in every sentence i translate it in different way

Examples:
"ne iskam tova"="i don't want this"
"nishto ne e svarshilo"="nothing is over"
"ne,ne sym az"="no,it is not me"
"ne,ne byah az"="no,it want's me"

Well i don't remember about anything else.I hope you got what i meant.if you have more question just ask

No, no, you got it wrong.

It will be Nothing is over.

Since Nothing is negative word you don't need to use no. Hope you got it.

I think that it's like in Greek, so yes you have to use both nishto and ne. Ne doesn't mean only no but also not. So it would be like nothing isn't over, which in English sounds strange.

hm...three explanations about one thing..looks good Espacially when they aren't different

ok.

im confused. AHHAHA

so do I use -ne?

and is it suppost to sound funny in english? (the sentence)


hahah

Lol. You got those two completely wrong. They should be like that:

"Ne, ne sym az" = "No, it's not me"
"Ne, ne byah az" = "No, it wasn't me"
