|---|
| In this lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase you'll use countless times on your journey! For everyone out there who likes Bulgarian food, this word will ensure you keep getting more of it! |
| In Bulgarian, "I like it" is Haresva mi. The first word, haresva, means "like." Next, we have mi, which in English is "I." To recap here, we have Haresva mi. Literally, this means "I like." |
| If you want to say that you really like something, then you can use this phrase. In Bulgarian, "I really like it" is Haresva mi mnogo. This phrase is essentially the same. There is just one additional word added. That word is mnogo. This word is an adverb and literally means "a lot." The meaning of the entire phrase is "I really like it." |
| In Bulgarian, to express that we really like something, we also use the preposition naistina. We say Haresva mi naistina mnogo, which in English we translate as "I like it very much." |
| In the event that you don't like something, "I don't like it" is Ne mi haresva. The first word, ne, means "not." Next, we have the phrase we just covered meaning "I like it," but with a changed position of the words, mi haresva. To build the negative form, you just need to add ne at the beginning of the phrase, change the position of the words, and you will have Ne mi haresva. |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we’d like for you to practice what you just learned. I’ll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase, and you’re responsible for saying it out loud. You’ll have few seconds before I give you the answer. So, Успех! (Uspeh!) that means "Good luck!" in Bulgarian. Ok, here we go! |
