Dobur Den! The Bulgarian language
(Good day! Words and Phrases)

The Bulgarian language is a Slavic tongue. Most people would associate Russian as being the closest language - the alphabet is similar. However, Bulgarian is it's own unique language with it's own grammar, which has developed throughout centuries.

In coastal & ski resorts and the largest cities, you will find English or German speakers. However, most people within the inland towns and villages will not be able to speak English. It is certainly worth learning some Bulgarian, even if it is only to say 'thank you' or 'hello'. Most Bulgarians act with great warmth if they see you have attempted to learn some of their language. However - Bulgarian is not an easy language to learn! There are one or two words that sound the same as English, but the grammar is rather different. However, there are a few useful words and phrases you can learn:

Hello / Good day    Dobur den

Good evening    Dobur vecher

Have a nice day    Priaten den

Have a nice evening    Priatna vecher

Goodbye    Chau (like Italian 'ciao')

Thank you    Blagodaria or Merci (like French)

Please    Molya

I want...    Iskam...

Where is...    Kade e...

What time is it?    Kolko e chasut?
