VOCABULARY PHRASE USAGE means, literally, "Be healthy," but translates as "Hello." To make the greeting more friendly and informal, you can just say ! means "I" in Bulgarian. For Example: 1. ---. Az se kazvam ---. "I'm called---." 2. . Az gi snimah. "I took their picture." is like the English "nice to meet you". But it means something like "Very delighted." We can translate as "Me too," where is just a modification of the pronoun , meaning "I." We won't go into the grammar at this point, so just remember that this is a response to "Nice to meet you." For Example BULGARIANPOD101.COM BASIC BOOTCAMP S1 #1 - SELF INTRODUCTION: BASIC GREETINGS IN BULGARIAN 4 1. . Umori me. "It made me tired." 2. . I na men. "For me too." GRAMMAR The Focus of This Basic Bootcamp Lesson Is How to Ask Somebody Their Name To ask someone their name, just ask ? Literally, this means "How are you called?" when it is said in the informal way. The first word, means "How." It is followed by the word for you, when it is a direct object: . And finally it uses that same verb that we saw in the expression for "My name is --" , which means something like "to say." ? with this question you'll be able to meet people easily in Bulgaria. CULTURAL INSIGHT Bulgarian Greeting Customs When Bulgarians meet for the first time, it's customary for men to shake hands and women to smile while introducing themselves. Once they get to know each other better, their greetings will graduate to hugs, shoulder taps, and kisses on the cheek—the last mainly for women though. Of course, these more emotional greetings are best done outside the workplace. At work, a handshake is your best bet.

BULGARI ANPOD101.COM BAS IC BOOTCAMP S 1 #2 - TALKING NATIONALITY IN BULGARIAN 3 VOCABULARY PHRASE USAGE To say you are British, just say the verb , which means "I am," and add (feminine) or (masculine) to the end of the phrase to say, "I am British." To change the nationality to, for example, Russian, use the same and just add the word for Russian- . "I am Russian" (feminine). GRAMMAR The Focus of This Lesson is to Teach You How to Talk About Gender Let's take a look at the dialogue again: : . . . : , . . We start with a self-introduction ("Hello, my name is Iva"). Then we say our nationality, . The point that needs special attention here is gender. The phrase "I'm Bulgarian" sounds different for women and men. Let's take a look at the examples with both genders, feminine and masculine. Feminine Bulgarian Romanization "English" . Az sym bylgarka. "I'm Bulgarian." . Az sym ruskinya. "I'm Russian." . Tya e amerikanka. "She's American." . Tya e anglichanka. "She's British." ? Yaponka li ste? (formal) "Are you Japanese?" ? Kitaika li ste? (formal) "Are you Chinese?" BULGARI ANPOD101.COM BAS IC BOOTCAMP S 1 #2 - TALKING NATIONALITY IN BULGARIAN 4 Priyatelkata mi e . francuzoika. "My girlfriend is French." . Priyatelkata mi e italianka. "My girlfriend is Italian." Masculine Bulgarian Romanization "English" . Az sym bylgarin. "I'm Bulgarian." . Az sym rusnak. "I'm Russian." . Toi e amerikanec. "He's American." . Toi e anglichanin. "He's British." ? Yaponec li ste? (formal) "Are you Japanese?" ? Kitaec li ste? (formal) "Are you Chinese?" . Priyatelyat mi e francuzin. "My boyfriend is French." . Priyatelyat mi e italianec. "My boyfriend is Italian." Another important point is that unlike in English, we cannot use ("Bulgarian," masculine) to refer to anything besides ethnicity. Therefore, we can't use these words to say something like, "I speak Bulgarian." For Example: 1. Bylgarski "Bulgarian" (language) BULGARI ANPOD101.COM BAS IC BOOTCAMP S 1 #2 - TALKING NATIONALITY IN BULGARIAN 5 2. Bylgarska kuhnya "Bulgarian cuisine" CULTURAL INSIGHT Why bother studying Bulgarian? For starters, it's a very old language. Even though it's changed a lot over the years, it still offers a connection to other Slavic languages and has so many words from Western culture. But even those who aren't language or history buffs will appreciate a Bulgarian vacation— and appreciate it even more if they can get around using the local language! From food and conversation to history and culture, the reasons to learn Bulgarian are as endless as the hours you can spend losing yourself in it.
