Even if you have a solid vocabulary base, your communication is going to be quite limited unless you know how to use tenses. While they may seem intimidating, studying the Bulgarian tenses will open up a whole new world to you and fill your life with so many different possibilities. 

Just imagine: Being able to talk about the present, past, and future will allow you to tell your Bulgarian friend what you’re up to at the moment, what happened yesterday, or what your plans are for the future. 

In this detailed guide, BulgarianPod101 will cover all nine verb tenses in Bulgarian grammar and provide you with examples of how to use them. We know that tenses are probably the hardest part of learning a foreign language, so we’ve tried to make our guide as simple and useful as possible. 

Let’s get started.

1. Bulgarian Language Specifics

Before we delve into verb tenses in the Bulgarian language, let’s take a look at three of the essential specifics that distinguish Bulgarian from most other languages.

No infinitive form

Instead of infinitive verb forms like those found in English, Russian, and many other languages, the Bulgarian language has a basic verb form that is first person singular, present tense. This means that when you look for specific verbs in the dictionary, you’ll find their forms for first person:

• говоря (govorya) – to talk / I talk
• чета (cheta) – to read / I read
• питам (pitam) – to ask / I ask
• отговарям (otgovariam) – to answer / I answer
• мисля (mislya) – to think / I think

Bulgarian verb conjugations

There are three verb conjugations in Bulgarian, categorized based on the stem form in third person singular, present tense. 

Conjugation	Stem vowel	Stem form (3rd pers., sing., present tense)	Base form (1st pers., sing., present tense)
1st	-е	чете	чета
2nd	-и	говори, мисли	говоря, мисля
3rd	-а, -я	пита, отговаря	питам, отговарям

Examples:

1st Conjugation

• Той чете интересна книга, а аз чета вестник.
  Toy chete interesna kniga, a az cheta vestnik.
  He reads an interesting book and I read a newspaper.

3rd Conjugation

• Аз питам, а той отговаря.
  As pitam, a toy otgovarya.
  I ask, and he answers.

Bulgarian auxiliary verbs

The Bulgarian language features two auxiliary verbs: съм (sam) and ща (shta). Let’s take a closer look at each of them.

• съм (sam) – to be
  
  This verb is widely used in constructing complex verb forms. съм and its derivatives (for the past and future tenses) play an important role in forming different tenses.

• ща (shta) – to want
  
  This verb is used only for future tense forms. To form verbs in the future tense and the future perfect tense, its derivative ще (shtе), or “will,” should be used. Over time, this word has lost its meaning of “want to” and is now considered to be a particle meaning “will.”
  
  To form the other future tenses (Future in the Past & Future Perfect in the Past), which will be discussed below in detail, we need to use the aorist form of ща, which is щял (shtyal), meaning “would.”

Examples: 

➢ Аз съм учител.
    Az sam uchitel.
    I am a teacher. – Present Tense

➢ Като порасна, ще съм смел като татко.
    Kato porasna, shte sam smel kato tatko.
    When I grow up, I will be as brave as my daddy. – Future Tense

➢ Вчера бях у дома.
    Vchera byah u doma.
    Yesterday, I was at home. – Past Tense

2. Present Tense

It’s important to note that there is only one present tense in Bulgarian, which makes things easier. However, don’t forget that there are three conjugations in the Bulgarian language, so you’ll have to learn them in order to use the correct forms in the present tense. 

Here’s a comparison table with endings for all three Bulgarian present tense conjugations.

Personal pronouns	1st Conjugation (the verb “read“)	2nd Conjugation(the verb “speak“)	3rd Conjugation(the verb “ask“)
аз	чета (cheta)	говоря (govorya)	питам (pitam)
ти	четеш (chetesh)	говориш (govorish)	питаш (pitash)
той/тя/то	чете (chete)	говори (govori)	пита (pita)
ние	четем (chetem)	говорим (govorim)	питаме (pitame)
вие	четете (chetete)	говорите (govorite)	питате (pitate)
те	четат (chetat)	говорят (govoryat)	питат (pitat)

Uses of the Bulgarian Present Tense

Here are a few things to keep in mind when studying the Bulgarian present tense and its uses.

1. The present tense in Bulgarian is equivalent to the English present simple tense. 

Examples:

➢ Аз говоря български език.
    Az govorya balgarski ezik.
    I speak the Bulgarian language.

➢ Обичам да чета книги.
    Obicham da cheta knigi.
    I love reading books.

➢ Често си мисля за теб!
    Chesto si mislya za teb!
    I often think about you!

2. The Bulgarian present tense, just like the English present simple tense, can be used to express habitual activities.

Examples:

➢ Всеки ден уча български език.
    Vseki den ucha balgarski ezik.
    I study Bulgarian every day.

➢ Чета по една българска книга всяка седмица.
    Cheta po edna balgarska kniga vsyaka sedmitsa.
    I read one Bulgarian book every week.

3. The Bulgarian present tense can also express the English present continuous tense.

Examples:

➢ Не ме безпокой, защото в момента чета интересна книга.
    Ne me bezpokoy, zashtoto v momenta cheta interesna kniga.
    Don’t bother me, because I’m reading an interesting book right now.

➢ Не ме прекъсвай, докато говоря с други хора.
    Ne me prekasvay, dokato govorya s drugi hora.
    Don’t interrupt me while I’m talking to other people.

4. Just like the English present continuous tense, the Bulgarian present tense can also be used to tell others about future activities we have planned.

Examples:

➢ Вечерта пътувам за София.
    Vecherta patuvam za Sofiya.
    I am traveling to Sofia tonight.

➢ Утре пристигам в Бургас.
    Utre pristigam v Burgas.
    I am arriving in Burgas tomorrow.

5. The Bulgarian present tense can act as an equivalent to the English present perfect continuous tense to express habitual activities, when the specific activities began in the past and continue to the present moment.

Examples:

➢ От три години уча този език.
    Ot tri godini ucha tozi ezik.
    I have been studying this language for three years.

➢ От месец чета тази книга, но още не съм я завършил.
    Ot mesets cheta tazi kniga, no oshte ne sam ya zavarshil.
    I have been reading this book for a month, but I have not finished it yet.

6. The Bulgarian present tense can be used to express historical events. In this case, it is equivalent to the past simple tense in English.

➢ Кирил и Методий създават славянската азбука през IX век.
    Kiril i Metodiy sazdavat slavyanskata azbuka prez IX vek.
    In the IX century, Cyril and Methodius created the Slavic alphabet.

➢ След смъртта на цар Симеон Велики, на престола се качва синът му Петър.
    Sled smartta na tsar Simeon Veliki, na prestola se kachva sinat mu Petar.
    After the death of King Simeon the Great, his son Peter ascended the throne.

3. Past Tenses

There are four Bulgarian past tenses: 

1. the past simple tense (also called aorist)
2. the past continuous tense
3. минало неопределено време (minalo neopredeleno vreme), equivalent to the present perfect tense
4. минало предварително време (minalo predvaritelno vreme), equivalent to the past perfect tense

Past Simple Tense (Aorist)

Aorist describes actions that happened at a definite moment in the past, and it corresponds to the English past simple tense. It’s formed with the stem vowel -и, -я, -о, or -а (if it follows the consonant ж, ч, or ш). The specific verb endings for this tense are given in the table below:

Personal pronouns	Endings for past simple tense
аз	– х
ти	–
той/тя/то	–
ние	-хме
вие	-хте
те	-ха

There’s no ending in the second or third person singular, which means that these forms will end in the stem vowel. 

Let’s make the past form of the verbs we already studied above:

• говоря (govorya) – to talk / I talk
• чета (cheta) – to read / I read
• питам (pitam) – to ask / I ask
• отговарям (otgovariam) – to answer / I answer
• мисля (mislya) – to think / I think

Personal pronouns	Verb with stem vowel -и	* Verb with stem vowel -о	Verb with stem vowel -а
аз	говорих	четох	питах
ти	говори	чете	пита
той/тя/то	говори	чете	пита
ние	говорихме	четохме	питахме
вие	говорихте	четохте	питахте
те	говориха	четоха	питаха

* Note that the word чета (четох) belongs to a special class of 23 verbs. Their stems end in д, т, з, с, or к and their stem vowel could be -о or -e in the second and third persons singular. 

Examples:

➢ Вчера цял ден четох интересна книга.
    Vchera tsyal den chetoh interesna kniga.
    Yesterday, I read an interesting book all day.

➢ Те ни питаха какво да ни купят за подарък.
    Te ni pitaha kakvo da ni kupyat za podarak.
    They asked us what to buy us as a gift.

★ Practical Exercise No. 4 – Past Simple Tense

Fill in all the forms of the following verbs in the past simple tense, based on their stem vowel:

Personal pronouns	Verb with stem vowel -и	Verb with stem vowel -и	Verb with stem vowel -а	Verb with stem vowel -а
аз	мислих	учих	мечтах	играх
ти
той/тя/то
ние
вие
те

Bonus exercise:

•  успях (uspyah) – I succeeded

Personal pronouns	Verb with stem vowel -я
аз	успях
ти

ние
вие
те

Past Imperfect Tense

The past imperfect tense describes a specific action, which was either in progress or incomplete at a definite moment in the past. It can be recognized when the following time phrases are used in the sentence:

• тогава (togava) – then
• по това време (po tova vreme) – at that time
• в този момент (v tozi moment) – in this moment

➢ По това време учениците седяха на масата и учеха.
    Po tova vreme uchenitsite sedyaha na masata i ucheha.
    At that time, the students were sitting at the table and studying.

Another usage of this tense is to express that the action is repeated in the past.

➢ Всеки вторник ходех в библиотеката и четях.
    Vseki vtornik hodeh v bibliotekata i chetyah.
    Every Tuesday, I was going to the library and reading.

Here are the endings for the past continuous tense:

Personal pronouns	Endings for past continuous tense
аз	-х
ти	-ше
той/тя/то	-ше
ние	-хме
вие	-хте
те	-ха

If you recall the endings for the past simple tense, you’ll notice that the only change comes in the second and third persons singular, where the ending -ше is added after the stem vowel. 

There are three stem vowels (-а, -я, -е) that can be used to form the past continuous tense. Let’s see how they’re formed using the verbs we saw above.

• говоря (govorya) – to talk / I talk
• чета (cheta) – to read / I read
• питам (pitam) – to ask / I ask
• отговарям (otgovariam) – to answer / I answer
• мисля (mislya) – to think / I think

Personal pronouns	Verb with stem vowel -а	Verb with stem vowel -я	Verb with stem vowel -е
аз	питах	четях	мислeх
ти	питаше	четеше	мислеше
той/тя/то	питаше	четеше	мислеше
ние	питахме	четяхме	мислeхме
вие	питахте	четяхте	мислeхте
те	питаха	четяха	мислeха

Examples:

➢ Дълго време четях тази голяма книга.
    Dalgo vreme chetyah tazi golyama kniga.
    I was reading this big book for a long time.

➢ За какво си мислеше, когато ти се обадих? 
    Za kakvo si misleshe, kogato ti se obadih?
    What were you thinking about when I called you?

➢ You can learn more about the past imperfect tense by going through our lesson An Unfortunate Accident in Bulgaria. 

★ Practical Exercise No. 5 – Past Continuous Tense

Fill in all the forms of the following verbs in the past continuous tense, based on their stem vowel:

Personal pronouns	Verb with stem vowel -я	Verb with stem vowel -е	Verb with stem vowel -а
аз	отговарях	учех	лежах
ти			*
той/тя/то			*
ние
вие
те

We added one new verb: 

• лежах (lezhah) – I was lying

* Note: The stem vowel for this verb is changed to -e in the second and third persons singular.

Минало неопределено време (minalo neopredeleno vreme) – Present Perfect Tense

This tense is used to describe an action that has taken place in the past, but its result continues in the present. Just like the English present perfect tense, the Bulgarian минало неопределено време tense uses a compound form of the verb съм (to be) in the present tense and the past active participle of the completed form. 

Examples:

➢ Гостите са дошли у нас.
    Gostite sa doshli u nas.
    The guests have come to us.

    [meaning that they are still in our house]

➢ Някой е взел учебника ми.
    Nyakoy e vzel uchebnika mi.
    Somebody has taken my textbook.

    [meaning that the textbook is still missing]

Let’s see in the table how it’s formed:

Personal pronouns	Endings for present perfect tense (Минало неопределено време)
аз	съм   -л (-а, -о)*
ти	си    -л (-а, -о)*
той тя то	е      -л е      -ла е      -ло
ние	сме   -ли
вие	сте   -ли
те	са    -ли

* For the first and second persons, the ending will depend on the gender:

•  Without vowel – for masculine gender
• -а – for feminine gender 
• -о – for neuter gender

Let’s see how to form a few of our verbs into минало неопределено време. You can try the rest of them yourself in the Practical Exercise below.

• говоря (govorya) – to talk / I talk
• чета (cheta) – to read / I read
• питам (pitam) – to ask / I ask
• отговарям (otgovariam) – to answer / I answer
• мисля (mislya) – to think / I think

Personal pronouns	чета	говоря
аз	съм чел/а/о	съм говорил/а/о
ти	си чел/а/о	си говорил/а/о
той тя то	е     чел  е     чела  е     чело	е     говорил  е     говорила  е     говорило
ние	сме чели	сме говорили
вие	сте чели	сте говорили
те	са чели	са говорили

★ Practical Exercise No. 6 – Present Perfect Tense (минало неопределено време)

Fill in all the forms of the following verbs in the present perfect tense (минало неопределено време), based on their stem vowel:

Personal pronouns	питам	отговарям	мисля

ти
тойтято
ние
вие
те

Минало предварително време (minalo predvaritelno vreme) – Past Perfect Tense

This tense is formed using the forms of the past continuous tense of the verb съм (to be) and the past active participle of the completed form. So the verb forms remain the same as those described above for the Bulgarian минало неопределено време. The only change is in the verb съм, which is used in its past continuous tense: бях (byah).

It’s used to show that an action was completed before another action or moment in the past, which is mentioned or implied. The result of the action affects that past moment.

Examples:

➢ Когато влязох, тя вече беше чела писмото.
    Kogato vlyazoh, tya veche beshe chela pismoto.
    When I entered, she had already read the letter.

➢ Преди да дойда, той вече беше купил билети за киното.
    Predi da doyda, toy veche beshe kupil bileti za kinoto.
    Before I came, he had already bought tickets for the movie.

Let’s see how it’s formed:

Personal pronouns	Endings for past perfect tense (Минало предварително време)
аз	бях  -л (-а, -о)*
ти	беше   -л (-а, -о)*
той тя то	беше      -л    беше      -ла    беше      -ло
ние	бяхме  -ли

4. Future Tenses

There are four Bulgarian future tenses: 

• Future Tense
• Future Perfect Tense
• Future in the Past Tense
• бъдеще предварително време в миналото (badeshte predvaritelno vreme v minaloto) – Future Preliminary Tense in the Past

That last one can be described as past future perfect or future perfect in the past.

Future Tense

The Bulgarian future tense is very easy to form. Just take the present simple tense of the verb and place the particle ще (shte), meaning “will,” before the verb form.

Examples:

➢ Утре ще отида на кино.
    Utre shte otida na kino.
    Tomorrow, I will go to the cinema.

➢ Вечерта ще уча български език.
    Vecherta shte ucha balgarski ezik.
    In the evening, I will study the Bulgarian language.

When negating a verb in the future tense, the impersonal verb няма and the particle да are placed before the present tense verb.

Examples:

➢ Аз няма да дойда.
    Az nyama da doyda.
    I will not come.

➢ Те няма да четат от книгата днес.
    Te nyama da chetat ot knigata dnes.
    They will not read from the book today.

The Bulgarian future tense corresponds to both the future and future progressive tenses in English.

Let’s see how to form a few of our verbs in the future tense. You can try the rest of them for yourself in the Practical Exercise below.

• говоря (govorya) – to talk / I talk
• чета (cheta) – to read / I read
• питам (pitam) – to ask / I ask
• отговарям (otgovariam) – to answer / I answer
• мисля (mislya) – to think / I think

Personal pronouns	1st  Conjugation	2nd Conjugation	3rd Conjugation
аз	ще чета	ще говоря	ще питам
ти	ще четеш	ще говориш	ще питаш
той/тя/то	ще чете	ще говори	ще пита
ние	ще четем	ще говорим	ще питаме
вие	ще четете	ще говорите	ще питате
те	ще четат	ще говорят	ще питат

→ Visit our lesson Making an Appointment in Bulgarian to learn how to use the future tense to make plans!

Future Perfect Tense

In Bulgarian, the future perfect tense is called бъдеще предварително време (badeshte predvaritelno vreme). It’s formed using the particle for future tense (ще), the verb съм (to be), and the past active completed participle of the main verb. 

It expresses a future action, which will have been completed by a given future moment. The result of the action affects that future moment. This tense corresponds to the English future perfect tense. 

Examples:

➢ До утре вечер ще съм прочел цялата книга.
    Do utre vecher shte sam prochel tsyalata kniga.
    I will have read the whole book by tomorrow night.

➢ До тогава хората ще са променили природата.
    Do togava horata shte sa promenili prirodata.
    Until then, people will have changed nature.

It’s easy to form this tense, assuming you’ve already learned how to form минало предварително време. The only difference is that we add the particle ще to the forms.

Personal pronouns	чета	говоря
аз	ще съм чел/а/о	ще съм говорил/а/о
ти	ще си чел/а/о	ще си говорил/а/о
той тя то	ще е     чел ще е     чела ще е     чело	ще е     говорил  ще е     говорила  ще е     говорило
ние	ще сме чели	ще сме говорили
вие	ще сте чели	ще сте говорили
те	ще са чели	ще са говорили

Fill in all the forms of the following verbs in the future perfect tense (бъдеще предварително време), based on their stem vowel:

Personal pronouns	питам	отговарям	мисля
аз	ще съм питал/а/о	ще съм отговорил/а/о	ще съм мислил/а/о
ти
тойтято
ние
вие
те

Future in the Past Tense

Бъдеще време в миналото (Badeshte vreme v minaloto) is expressed using compound forms. It’s formed using the auxiliary verb ща in the past continuous tense (щях), the particle да, and the main verb in the present simple tense. 

Examples:

➢ Щях да чета.
    Shtyah da cheta.
    I would (was going to) read.

➢ Щях да пея.
    Shtyah da peya.
    I would (was going to) sing.

The negative form is expressed using нямаше (nyamashe), which is not conjugated for the person or number, plus the particle да and the main verb in the present simple tense. 

Examples:

➢ Нямаше да чета.
    Niamashe da cheta.
    I would not (was not going to) read.

➢ Нямаше да пея.
    Niamashe da peya.
    I would not (was not going to) sing.

This tense expresses an action in the past, which has taken place after another moment in the past. It corresponds to the English future in the past tense. 

Examples:

➢ Те щяха да прекарат лятото на това място.
    Te shtyaha da prekarat lyatoto na tova myastо.
    They were going to spend the summer in this place.

➢ Влакът щеше да тръгне след 5 минути.
    Vlakat shteshe da tragne sled 5 minuti.
    The train was going to leave in 5 minutes.

Let’s see how to form a few of our verbs in the future in the past tense. You can try the rest of them for yourself in the Practical Exercise below.

• говоря (govorya) – to talk / I talk
• чета (cheta) – to read / I read
• питам (pitam) – to ask / I ask
• отговарям (otgovariam) – to answer / I answer
• мисля (mislya) – to think / I think

Personal pronouns	1st  Conjugation	2nd Conjugation	3rd Conjugation
аз	щях да чета	щях да говоря	щях да питам
ти	щеше да четеш	щеше да говориш	щеше да питаш
той/тя/то	щеше да чете	щеше да говори	щеше да пита

Past Future Perfect

Бъдеще предварително време в миналото (badeshte predvaritelno vreme v minaloto), or future preliminary tense in the past, can be described as “past future perfect” or “future perfect in the past.” This is the most complex compound tense.

It represents an action in its relation to a past moment the same way that the simple future tense presents it in relation to the moment of speaking. In other words, these forms mean that the action has passed in relation to a certain past moment, which in turn is forthcoming (future) for the past moment in question.

Let’s give an example:

➢ Ако не беше закъснял толкова, досега щяхме да сме излезли.
    Ako ne beshe zakasnyal tolkova, dosega shtyahme da sme izlezli.
    If he hadn’t been so late, we would have been out by now.

It’s formed using the auxiliary verb ща in the past continuous tense (щях), the particle да, the verb съм in the present tense, and the main verb in the present simple tense. This tense is rarely used because of its complex compound form, but to make this guide complete, we’ll show you how to form it just in case:

Personal pronouns	чета	говоря
аз	щях да съм чел/а/о	щях да съм говорил/а/о
ти	щеше да си чел/а/о	щеше да си говорил/а/о
той тя то	щеше да е     чел щеше да е     чела щеше да е     чело	щеше да е     говорил  щеше да е     говорила  щеше да е     говорило
ние	щяхме да сме чели	щяхме да сме говорили
вие	щяхте да сте чели	щяхте да сте говорили
те	щяха да са чели	щяха да са говорили
