From the point of view of grammar, the imperative mood is used to express commands or requests, permission or prohibition.
In the Bulgarian language the verb in imperative mood usually has two forms - singular and plural.
Verbs that end on consonant + vowel receive the following endings: "И" or "Ете"
Verb | 2nd person singular | 2nd person plural | English translation |
---|---|---|---|
купя | купи! | купете! | read! |
пиша | пиши! | пишете! | read! |
Verbs that end on vowel + consonant receive the following endings: "Й" or "Йте"
Verb | 2nd person singular | 2nd person plural | English translation |
---|---|---|---|
скачам | скачай! | скачайте! | jump! |
падам | падай! | падайте! | fall! |
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
Verb | 2nd person singular | 2nd person plural | English translation |
---|---|---|---|
съм | бъди! | бъдете! | be! |
видя | виж! | вижте! | look! |
вляза | влез! | влезте! | come in! |
дойда | ела! | елате! | come! |
държа | дръж! | дръжте! | hold on! |
изляза | излез! | излезте! | come out! |
отида | отиди! | отидете! | go! |
сляза | слез! | слезте! | get down! |
ям | яж! | яжте! | eat! |
Usually, we form the negative imperative by adding "He" in front of the positive form.
Positive form | Negative form |
---|---|
Чети! | Не чети! |
Четете! | Не четете! |
However, there is a second way to formulate the negative imperative, by using "Недей да" for singular and "Недейте да" for plural + the present tense of the verb.
singular | Недей да четеш! | Don't read! |
---|---|---|
plural | Недейте да четете! | Don't read! |
singular | Недей да влизаш! | Don't come in! |
plural | Недейте да влизате! | Don't come in! |

Dear Student,
I am Daniela, a qualified teacher of Bulgarian as a foreign language.
I will be delighted to help you learn Bulgarian. I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I am passionate about languages; I am fluent in English and Spanish, Czech and Slovenian. I have helped many foreigners now living in Bulgaria to better understand and speak with confidence in their social environment. I am always interested in their motivation to learn Bulgarian and I adapt myself completely to the needs and tastes of each student. My teaching style is very communicative, I teach through dialogues, and real situations so my students start speaking from the very first lesson. I make my classes fun and enjoyable for all students, as I believe it is very important that the student enjoys learning, that they look forward to the next class. We often talk about culture, traditions, history and all kinds of topics that interest the student and in this way, progress is much more natural and faster.
Many thanks.
Best regards, Daniela

I enjoyed the classes, in one month I've gained much more confidence in my Bulgarian skills. The explanations are always clear and I like that she can adapt the teaching style based on the needs of the student. She's very nice and can put you at ease when practicing the language. I would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend Daniela. She is a very experienced and professional language teacher. She created dialogue teaching materials that helped me become conversational in Bulgarian from the first lesson. I was only familiar with the alphabet, but now, after one lesson, I can book an appointment, order a taxi, a coffee, and greet people in Bulgarian. I will continue to practice and add new words to my vocabulary. Daniela is a brilliant teacher who makes learning conversational Bulgarian so easy!

Thank you very much, Gabrielle! It is a pleasure teaching you :-)

I highly recommend Daniela. I had a few lessons till now but it’s a pleasure for me to be her student. She is always making sure to send the materials of the class for me to review. She is very friendly and always with smile on her face. Lots of examples during class, she prepares lots of materials to learn, always repeating previous lessons and go to another, every lessons are very well explained. I am a very beginning of Bulgarian language but she is very patient to me and she makes sure that I’m ok with materials. We are going very slow with materials. She always reminds about the lesson two days before and is punctual for classes. I would definitely continue taking classes with her and would definitely recommend her.

Hi there,
I am glad to meet you.
First of all, let me congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. In your case this is Bulgarian.
My country, Bulgaria, is a beautiful country with nice and hospitable people. It is an ancient land with a great history and rich culture. Having learned our language you will be able to get in touch freely with our good people and country.
I come from the town of Vidin, Bulgaria. I am a qualified English and Bulgarian teacher. I graduated back in 1972 from Sofia University with an MA in English Philology and Bulgarian Philology as a second subject. Since then I have spent most of my professional career teaching Bulgarian students.
First of all, we will have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice!
Cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey to learn Bulgarian.

Today we did a translation of a Bulgarian text about bribery. Again it was a combination of new vocabulary, grammar (tenses) and a very interesting and up-to-date topic. I always learn a lot of additional stuff with Angel like phrase, grammatical exceptions and funny little stuff.

Emilia is really an amazing teacher. Very kind in communication yet very sharp in spotting and correcting mistakes. She gives the lesson a good balance between asking questions so I can practice talking in general and structure in adding new materials by following the book. I hope she keeps going this for a while because I hope to learn from her for many more lessons!

I enjoy learning Bulgarian with Daniela. She has a very practical, communicative approach to teaching, we make a lot of conversation and this helps me to begin speaking Bulgarian with ease and more confidence. Besides she adapts to what I want to learn, brings topics and content of interest, and I have learned a lot about Bulgarian history and traditions in our lessons, too. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher. Many thanks !

Hello,
My name is Zlatko. I believe that learning Bulgarian online with me gives you the best of both worlds: fast progress and enjoyment.Taking on the challenge to learn a new language is impressive. The reasons might be different. Some people give it a go because they just like new things. Others need to learn a new language because they are moving to a country where the language is spoken. Remember that whatever your reason is, it is your motivation that is the key to successful learning.
Who am I and why to pick me:
- online and face-to-face teaching experience: over 15 years helping hundreds of students achieve their language goals
- flexibility: willing to tailor my techniques to both your interests and specific needs
- patience and excellent listening skills
- honesty and collaboration: let's build trust and consider our work as a partnership
- native Bulgarian speaker with oustanding educational background
- sense of humour
Material
All lessons are interlinked to promote better and more memorable learning, with the flexibility to pick out key sections to focus on certain language points. All language is clearly signposted and scaffolded so there is great clarity of progression of learning - students can really feel they are getting somewhere.
In general, my teaching style includes, but is not limited to:
- speaking practice through role-play activities
- stotytelling and discussions
- gap filling excercises
- listening comprehension
- vocabulary development
- accent reduction
How does that grab you? If interested, drop me a line and we will discuss your language goals and expectations.
I OFFER a 15 MINUTE TRIAL LESSON TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT MY TEACHING METHOD LOOKS LIKE.
Hope to see you soon.
Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of every lesson:
1. Review what you covered in your previous lesson.
2. Focus on things you had difficulty with. I will definitely go over them.
3. It is always a great idea to take notes during your lessons. It helps you stay more focused on what you are learning.
4. Feel free to ask me if anything has come up since your last lesson that you want clarification on. Your questions do not have to be prior lesson related, maybe you are just curious about how to say something.
5. Be sure you have completed your homework assignments. If you were not able to complete them, make notes about what stumped you. Were the instructions not clear enough, was the vocabulary beyond your level of comprehension, were the grammar rules too overwhelming, was there too much homework for the time you had planned to spend on it, and so on.
6. Contact me prior to your next lesson if there are any issues or changes you would like to make me aware of so I can have a chance to make changes to your learning plan.
I look forward to seeing you in my lessons.
