Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Petar: Please remember that adjectives differ according to the gender and number of the nouns that follow them. If you want to insist on an adjective in Bulgarian, you can use the words много and наистина before the adjectives. As in много красива, which is "really beautiful" in feminine or наистина вкусно which is used in neuter and means "really delicious".
