Lesson focus |
|---|
| There is so much to do and see in Bulgaria, and there are times when access to some must-see places requires an admission ticket. So in this lesson, we're going to work on getting you through the gate, as we'll look at buying tickets. In Bulgaria, ticket is bilet. Let's break it down: bi-let. |
| In Bulgarian, "One ticket, please" is Edin bilet, molya. Let's break it down by syllable. E-din bi-let mo-lya. The first word, edin, means "one." Next we have bilet, which in Bulgarian is "ticket." To recap here, we have edin bilet. Let's look at the next word, which you know very well, molya, and it means "please" or "would like" or "would want." So, all together, we have Edin bilet, molya. Literally, this means, "A ticket, please." |
| We'll work on getting tickets for the rest of the party now. |
| Let's recap the numbers from one to ten. |
| edno |
| "one" |
| dve |
| "two" |
| tri |
| "three" |
| chetiri |
| "four" |
| pet |
| "five" |
| shest |
| "six" |
| sedem |
| "seven" |
| osem |
| "eight" |
| devet |
| "nine" |
| deset |
| "ten" |
| "Three tickets, please" in Bulgarian is Tri bileta, molya. Let's break it down by syllable. Tri bi-le-ta mo-lya. The first word, tri, means "three." Next, we have the same noun as before but in plural here. So all together, we have Tri bileta, molya. Literally, this means "Three tickets, please." |
| "Five tickets, please" in Bulgarian is Pet bileta, molya. |
| Very often, you may be asked to show your ticket at places other than the entrance, so keep these admission tickets with you until you leave the place you are visiting. Someone might ask you Bileta Vi, molya. This means "Your ticket, please." The first word is bileta ("ticket"). Then you have the polite form of "you," which we write with a capital letter: Vi, as we did it in a previous lesson. Then you have molya ("please"). Let's break it down by syllable. Bi-le-ta Vi mo-lya. |

You’ll have few seconds before I give you the answer. So, Успех! (Uspeh!) that means "Good luck!" in Bulgarian. Ok, here we go! |
