Learning Bulgarian language

pierr, we as latin ones have a technical font and a handwriting font In internet we write with the technical font (because we cant handwrite here ) but many bulgarians use the technical font for handwriting too, because it`s way much simpler and much easier. I personally handwrite with the technical font too

now in the technical and in the handwriting font in the most of the letters they are pritty the same, but there are some that in the little letters (not sure that the english call the like that way ) there are some differences.

Here you can see the cyrilic aplhabet when it`s Italic in Word. It`s the closest picture I had found of our habdwriting found

Yes, but the "No Smoking" sign is translated as "Пушенето забранено" in Bulgarian :P

+ Propel, don't give up just because you didn't get some sentences right ;] That's a part of learning things - trial and error :] And I can only imagine how difficult it is for you when you probably don't have anyone around to practice with ... Btw, how long you've been self-teaching Bulgarian for? You're doing well so far :]

Ive been learning bulgarian without ATL for like 1 month?

But, Overall, it's been like.....geeze.. maybe 3-4 months?

But im getting serious about it now.

Am I doing well????? For a begininer? haha


I think that another thing that is giving me trouble is that I just need to learn more words. And study nouns, participles (i dont know what that is....hahahahah), and SENTENCE STRUCTURE! for some reason, to me, each sentence's strucure seems different


Gezee, Bulgarian is very hard. What did I get myself into?

I was wondering in this thread, the native speakers (or others fluent) in Bulgarian, could write out the grammer rules for Bulgarian?


I Think this thread will help me strictly with grammer.





(If any administrator/moderator/members don't like this thread, you can delete it)

Hmmm.. theyr SO MANY !!! I have no idea which to begin from...
It's good to have such thread, apart from learning Bulgarian.
If u'd like- maybe from the nouns?

don't worry I understand u I've tried to learn 2 languages on my own and it's pretty hard till the language "get into ur mouth" if I can say it in that way I've studied English for 12 years ( this month I finished school and in the end,I finished with English too ) and I still can't say I speak it perfectly cause I'm not surrounded by English people and I make some mistakes when not thinking too much what am I writing^^
U need communication with Bulgarian speakers.Come here and u'll learn much more for a summer vacation then u've learned for 3 years being distant from Bulgaria

Maybe propel could write what he want's to learn first ... segashno vreme, broyna forma ili preizkaznite formi

tedinkyyy is right ... i was looking for summer job in bulgaria but it's pretty hard to get one, even though we're together in european union so i'll just have to go to bulgaria and talk as much as i can ... walk from shop to shop to talk to every shop assistant haha

hmm there's alot work at the seaside during summer..but Bulgarians occupate the work hehe..btw many Bulgarians wanna study Polish to translate at the seaside in summer cause many Polish tourists come here :lol

I can teach them haha Anyways, what does "evala" mean ? you used it some time ago

I guess we could start with the nouns? Im not really sure. hahah


just write something! haha

Евала е нещо като "Браво на теб" или въобще някакво одобрение

Добре. Започвам
Nouns
There r 3 genders:
male gender - words ending on consonantal sounds: мъж,човек,брат,свят,град и т.н.
Definitive article: ending on ът
мъжът,човекът,братът,светът,градът
or on ят when the word is ending on л or р
учител-учителят ; овчар-овчарят.
"Ят" is used basicly for a person.Most male-gender-words end on "ът".

female gender - words ending on a/я
жена,майка,сестра,чиния,филия,буря
Definitive article: ta
жената,майката,чинията,филията,бурята
There r some extra-rule exapmles:
песен(a song),есен(Autumn),нощ(night),любов(love),пролет(S pring),мощ(might) though ending on consonantal sounds r in the female gender and their definitive is: песента,есента,любовта,нощта,пролетта,мощта.

middle gender-words ending on o/е
дете,лято,слънце,момче,момиче,дърво
Definitive article: то
детето,лятото,слънцето,момчето,момичето,дърво то
That's why u can't use for Malina"nai-dobre/nai-dobro".Malina is a woman--> she's a female.That's why--> Малина е най-добраТА.
Is it clear?

"evala" is a word that lasted from the time we were under turkish supresion
"EV ALLAH" is where the word came from and it means "glory to Allah" but in time we started using it with meaning "Браво на теб" or "крайно време беше" ( it was about time.... ) :P

btw i saw what you're doing to PROPEL... he's doing pretty good for a beginer don't tease him so much
GREAT JOB PROPEL !!!

Hmm it sounded really Turkish to me too but I didn't know for that origin

One mistake - It's Grammar not Grammer

I hope so that you all will help me and Propel with bulgarian and don't get mad of our questions and mistakes

Nadyavam se che shte pomognete nam (?) ni (?) s balgarskiya :P

В българския няма "нам" =)
Има "ни".Ще ни помогнете ли? Такъв е редът.Ние нямаме падежи,слава Богу =)

A moga li da kazha "nadyavam se che shte ni pomognete ?"
I ne, ne sam na liniya na skayp (because) zashtoto (?) za da (?) ne izpolzvam moyat kompyutar

Да.Можеш.
Надявам се,че ще ни помогнете" е абсолютно вярно.
"Не мога,защото не ползвам.."
"за да"=eng "in order to"
