Bulgarian is very similar to Russian and other Slavic languages. About 9 million people speak this language, and Cyrillic is used in writing. In Bulgarian, many words are similar in sound to Russian, but in meaning they will be different. In Russian, “bride”, and in Bulgarian “bun”, “awesome” will sound like “fearful”, “cruel” will not always mean “ruthless”, but is used in the sense of “cool”, “flock” is not a bird, and “room”, well, the word “right” often causes a misunderstanding, since in Bulgarian it sounds like “straight”, so be careful when asking for directions.

In the Bulgarian language, the particle “whether” is always used in the question (Would you like tea?, Is it for Natasha?). This is a mandatory form in the language, otherwise you may not be understood if you want to ask something.

Reviews about Bulgaria

Today, August 22, 2019, tourists from Bulgaria, a man and a woman, using the entertainment "flying by parachute behind a boat on a rope" broke away from the boat and flew on an uncontrolled parachute at high altitude towards the forest and mountains!!! Miraculously fell and did not crash, remained alive! Bruises and abrasions... The cable came off the boat! And if there were children on this "walk"? No one here monitors the quality of the equipment when providing these extreme services. It was in Sozopol, the boat took away those who wanted to "fly" from the Kavatsi beach. Then they flew for a long time ... fortunately there was a wind ... without wind, the parachute would have folded at a height and they would have collapsed to the ground like a stone ...
Kirill, 42, Moscow

I rested with my daughter in Balchik in August. I was struck by the dishonesty of the local population. Everywhere they hang out, the waiters are boors, they immediately take 1 or 2 leos from the building, the bill, of course, they always round up. give change 1leo. In shops, buses, everywhere change is given incorrectly.
Tatyana, Minsk, 41 years old

The sea is gentle. The air is very warm. We speak Russian. The food is delicious. Fruits and vegetables are ripe and juicy. Pure pleasure! Rest costs the amount that you live at home for the same period, but all products are real and of high quality. For lovers of jamon and parmesan - expanse! They do exist! At pre-crisis prices, which is amazing! I recommend!
Mira, 59 years old, Moscow

I visited Bulgaria for the first time. Of course, Bulgaria cannot be compared with the beauty of exotic islands such as the Canaries or Madeira, for such money the rest is quite acceptable. Bulgarians are hospitable people, and this is reflected both in the service and in the general atmosphere at the resort and at the hotel. I was in Bulgaria in September, there were few tourists, I was able to enjoy the tranquility and the warm sea.
Anton. 32 years old, Saratov

A friend advised me to go to Bulgaria. She said that the Bulgarians are temperamental men, you won’t be left without a romance. I wanted to see this miracle. Didn't regret it. The holiday was great, made a lot of friends. I advise you to go to Bulgaria in June, I liked it in June, not so hot and not so many people on the beach.
Nelya. 27 years old, Bryansk

But what to do if there is absolutely no time at work and at home, there is not a drop of free time to study the Bulgarian language ???

If you are the owner of a phone based on Android you can download a voice translator from Bulgarian to Russian by going here.

There is a great solution for quickly learning Bulgarian for tourists, you don’t even have to learn all these phrases and don’t take textbooks, but just open our website and look at all the necessary set of words – a simple solution! You can download GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BULGARIAN LANGUAGE a good book for beginners.

And what to hide? Bulgarian is very similar to Russian and the first time, staying in Bulgaria, it even seems that they “stole” (in the good sense of the word) our entire speech. However, no, it's not like that! Everything is completely different, Bulgarian words differ from ours in form, and it should also be remembered that Bulgarian borrowings are from: Ukrainian, French, Turkish, Greek and Italian. The basis is still the well-known old Slavic root, so do not be too surprised if you hear such obsolete words (which are found only in Christian texts with prayers and crosswords) such as: brow, eye, seer, mistress, restaurant, stared, shoes, child etc.


bulgarian phrasebook - old slavic alphabet

True, one important detail should be taken into account: the Bulgarian language has a different grammar than Russian, as well as other stresses in words. This is where the difference ends, I guess.

There is no letter in Bulgarian: Yo, Y and E.

Letter S sometimes pronounced with a letter AND.

The letter E in Bulgarian is replaced by the letter E (good - reads like dobre).

Letter Kommersant does not mean hardness, but sounds like: A, Y or average between A and U.


Bulgarian language phrasebook. The modern Bulgarian alphabet is without three Russian letters: Y, Yo and E.

Let's move on to direct practice, i.e. to the study of words and phrases of the Bulgarian language ...
