Yea, and there is also something like "си" f.e. мия си ръцете ... it's used when we are precisizing what are we doing with ourself nali taka ?

Точно така It comes from "mija svoite ryce" - "mija SI rycete".

а какво точно значи "хуквам/хукна" ? мога ли да кажа че котката хуква през прозореца ?

Хах..за това не съм се замисляла.. хуквам значи да тръгна изведнъж, без никой да е очаквал и в смисъл като втурвам се..ако го знаеш за котка...по-добре е скочи през прозореца..хукна ми се вижда повече за човек... но не знам, в краен случй може пък и за котка,защо не

Thanks for your answers.

I have a query about one of macorules94's translation:

EN: I am going to the shop to buy some cigarettes
BG: Аз ще ходя до магазина да купя цигари

Does "Аз ще ходя" not mean "I will go" in English instead of "I am going"?

In English, "I will go" means the verb is in future tense whereas "I am going" is the present continuous tense.

Or is it the case that in Bulgarian there is no present continuous tense?

There's only one present tense in Bulgarian. For instance, I sleep, I'm sleeping, I've been sleeping are all translated as "спя".
"Aз ще ходя" means "I will go" :]

umm but I've been sleeping could be also translated as "sym spal/a" nali ?

да,може
Аз съм спала от полунощ досега lol I've been sleeping from midnight till now.

Значи се превежда по два начина .. зависи от контекста

the phrase "I'm washing myself" does make sense in english.

I'm gonna have to read up more on CE/reflective pronouns bc I dont know what those are

Check it. It actually discribes life on the Balkans.Including Bulgaria It's a funny text.

ok good, I didnt think it was Седъм and Осъм

The woman who says that speakes a dialect from my area in Bulgaria. We say the words with more "Ъ" in it.

Example for the word река in my area we say it something like рекъ That`s all.


Of course the right ones are седем и осем

yes. I said the other ones, that macorles94 said, and they didnt sound right.


could someone tell me what the difference is between.

Li - Nali.

I know they are both are used for questions. I think you use "li" for "yes or no" answers? maybe?

I think its Neli.

Neli means, something like, "you are here no?" "Ti si tuk neli?"

Some Macedonians say Nele and Le

Well, There is like, no way to explain Li in English
