Learning Bulgarian language

I want to learn Bulgarian cos we spend our vacation in Bulfgaria.

yeahh :P and i want to learn Turkish because i like baris akarsu :P:P:P and I often go to Istanbul ...

Hubovo nice to hear that

hello! please, i need some help in your laguage, i¡ll be glad if someone replies to my questions...thank youu!:

1. how do you say in bulgarian "more" and "less" for example when asking for something?

2. could somebody explain the comparatives and superlatives. with some senence also if it possible...

3. please, can you write some verbs (all persons) like for example: znaq, pravq, gledam, rabotq...(hope i wrote them well)

4. and at last, could you write how to use some prepositions as: to, in, with, from, towards, for and without?

thank you in advance! and sorry if i bother too much with so many questions

hello
1. more= oshte less = po malko
2 little-less-the least = malko , po-malko, nai-malko
we use for comperlative "po-" and for superlative " nai-"
lets use clean in BG chisto
chisto , po-chisto, nai-chisto
did you get it or shall i explane again
3 cheta(read) walk(hodq) drink(piq) dance(tancuvam) sleep (spq)
tell me which exactly you want to know
4 to( it could be used depending from the sentance {do,na,kym,za,pri})
in ( v, na, u)
with (sys)
from (ot)
towards (kym)
for(za)
without (bez)

oh! so quick!! thank you extremnata again!

just one mor thing for the moment... in the point 3 i wanted to write all the verbs like "i am, you are he is..." and so on, please. You can write it in your letters (not latin) if you want to, no problem!

and please, can somebody make a sentence with the prepositions "to" and "in" to know wich one i should use depending the sentence.

THANK YOU VERY MUCHHH!

аз съм( i am=az sym)
ти си(you are=ti si)
тя е(she is=tq e)
то е(it is= to e)
ние сме(we are=nie sme)
вие сте(You are=vie ste)
те са(they are=vie ste)
let's look at the sentence "go to the library"
отиди ДО библиотеката(otidi do bibliotekata") meaning you could go and wait for someone in front of it could also mean go in it

отиди В библиотеката (otidi v bibliotekata) meaning go in the library and read a book :P

"go to the teacher's room"
отиди ДО учителската стая
отиди В учителската стая

get in the car
качи се В колата
generally you have to know which one to use... I can't think of a rule right now but if remember one I'll write it down...

and just for info our lettars are Cyrillic (кирилица)

thank you for the explanations and the verb extermanata! i hope i am not bothering you too much!!

just one more thing, please write (you or somebody who wants) the verbs i wrote below with all persons "i, you, he, we, ..." becasue i still dont know very well how to conjugate them very well. thank you!

where did you write verbs? i didn't get it ahaha a bit tired today..could you write them again and i'll help

don't worry! here there are!: znaq, pravq, gledam, rabotq. English is not our mother's tonge...that's whay we don't understand sometimes!
i want to thank you for all the help u are givin me Extremnata. you are great person! thank youuuuuuuuu!

Yes absolutely correct

lucia9 i'm expecting more :P

hello! i am back again! with new questions about our beautiful language!
i have problems with verbs, because i have no books or anything to study bulgarian...how many tenses there are? could smbdy help me to do a little introducion? for example, the verb obi4am:

PRESENT SIMPLE: I love-аз обичам
u love-ти обичаш
he loves-той обича
she loves-тя обича
it loves-то обича
we love-ние обичаме
u love-вие обичате
they love-те обичат

PRESENT CONTINUOUS : i think it's the same as present simple in bulgarian, but i am not sure

PAST SIMPLE: i loved -
you loved -
he loved -
we loved -
you loved -
they loved -

(i dont remember this tense...maybe past continuous?)
i have loved -
you have loved -
he has loved -
we have loved -
you have loved -
they have loved -

FUTURE : i think you just use the word "shte" and te verb in present

IMPERATIVE : love!

And....in this moment i dont remember more tenses to ask you...but if someone does, please add them.
i think this will be useful for people trying to learn bulgarian!

hope it's not too long to answer!

these are the tenses and i've given an example for each but i can't translate them correctly in to english will work on translating them but for now i coul provide only a list of them

Сегашно - Аз работя

Сегашно историческо - Аз работя

Минало преизказно - Той работил

Минало свършено - Аз работих

Минало несвършено - Аз работех

Минало неопределено - Аз съм работил

Минало предварително - Аз бях работил

Бъдеще в миналото - Аз щях да работя

Бъдеще - Аз ще работя

[QUOTE=lucia9;433292]
