Preface

This book, like its companion, Beginning SeThoCToatian, was devel­oped for classes, largely of graduate students, at Harvard Uni­versity. Its purpose is to introduce students as rapidly as possible to the fundamentals of Bulgarian grammar so that from the very fi rst lesson they are able to construct complete sentences. The primary goal is to prepare the students to read Bulgarian litera­ture, and two complete stories are included in the book. The sentences at the end of each lesson will, it is hoped, also be a useful introduction to Bulgarian in some of the ordinary circum­stances of life and travel in another country. The glossary con­tains all the words used in the exercises and in the two stories, but it does not include aU the words used in the grammatical discussions nor in the conversation sections.

I have taken the conversation sentences from Slavjanski Razgo­vornik, published by Nauka i Izkustvo (Sofia, 1959), for which I am indebted to Professor L. AndrejCin of Sofia University. The information in the glossary is derived from the Reinik na s'vre­rmnnija h'lgaTski kniiovtn ezik, Volumes I to III (Sofia, 1955 to 1959), published by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The grammatical presentation has been influenced by a number of sources, the earliest of which were Leon Beaulieux's Grammaire de la langue bulgare (Paris, 1950), and S. B. Bern~tejn's Ulehnik bolgarskogo jazyka (Moscow, 1948). Next in time came B'Lgarska gramatika by L. AndrejCin, N. Kostov, and E. Nikolov (Sofia, 1947), S'vremenen h'lgarski ezit, by L. AndrejCin, K. Popov, and M. Ivanov (Sofia, 1955), and of special help in writing the phonological parts of the introduction has been Ju. S. Maslov's excellen t Ol"k boLgarskoj grammatiki (Mosf'ow, 1956). Of interest

Page 3: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

also are AngliJska gramotika v sraunmu s 6'lgarski ezik, by T. Atana­sova, H. Radulova, M. Rankova, R. Rusev (Sofia, 1956), and /storileska gramorika na 6'lgarskiJa em, by K. Mir~ev (Sofia, 1958).

In addition to the Academy dictionary mentioned above, the following lexical works have been useful: B'lgarski t'/koven refnik, by L. Andrejtin, L. Georgiev, St. lI~ev. H. Kostov, Iv. Lekov, St. Stojkov, Cv. Todorov (Sofia, 1955), and Prauopism reinile no b'lgarskiJa kniloven ezile, by Iv. Lekov, L. Andrej6n, VI. Georgiev (Sofia, 1948), and Reinik no lutdite dumi v b'lgarskiJa ezik, by A. Milev, J . Bratkov, and B. Nikolov (Sofia, 1958) . There is no really adequate dictionary from Bulgarian to English, but one might list R . Russev, Bulgarian-English Dictionary (New York, 1953), and, considerably better, B'lgaro-anglijski reinik, composed by T. Atanasova, M. Rankova, R. Rusev, D. Spasov, VI. Phili­pov, under the direction of M. Minkov (Sofia, 1958}. Un­fortunately neither of these two dictionaries provides the student with accents. T here are two Bulgarian-Russian dictionaries which I have found helpful from time to time, S. K. Cukalov, Bolgarsko­russkij slovar' (Sofia, 1957), and, with the same title, that by S. B. Bern!tejn in Moscow, 1953.

In the earliest stages of writing the Bulgarian exercises I was aided by Mr. Dragan Petrov and by Mrs. R. H. jones of Boston. In july of 1958 and August of 1959 I was able to visit Bulgaria under a grant from the Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants and with the generous assistance of the Committee for Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries of Bulgaria. In 1958 the manuscript of the grammar had the benefit of careful perusal by both Dr. L. Andrej6n, Director of the Institute for Bulgari an Language of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Ivan G'l'bov of the same institute. During the following year I revised the grammar again incorporating their suggestions. In 1959 Drs. Andrej6n and Stojkov arranged for me to work with two advanced graduate students, Miss Kalina Ivanova and Mr. J ordan Penlev, who were also workers in the Imti tute for Bulgarian Language, to go through the grammar and its exercises in great detail. Thanks to them I have confi­drllfr Ihal the Bulgarian texts are accurate specimens of modern slandard litnary Bulgarian. Miss Ivanova and Mr. Pen~ev,

6

together with Mrs. Elka Stankulova and Mrs. Elena Georgieva, recorded a tape ofthe grammar exercises for the use of my classes at Harv<l;rd, and I take this opportunity to thank them for their help.

I am indebted also to Dr. j oseph Van Campen, Assistant Pro­fessor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard, not only for his kindness in letting me use some of the results of his anal­ysis of the Bulgarian verb, his doctoral dissertation, which I had the privilege of reading, but also for going through the grammatical sections and especially the introduction. I am grateful to him for his care in applying his knowledge of the structure of the Bulgarian language to this book and for his many suggestions .

To Mrs. Patricia Arant of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Radcliffe College I am especially grateful for making the glossary and for retyping parts of the manuscript. A grant from the Harvard Foundation made possible clerical assistance in preparing the final manuscript. For the earlier mimeo­graphed versions I am grateful to the Slavic Department of Harvard.

Finally, the students in my courses in Bulgarian who have tried this grammar in its various stages have helped with com­ments and suggestions and to them for their patience and acute­ness I herewith render thanks.

Introduction

At the present time the Bulgarian alphabet consists of the follow­ing symbols: A, a, 6 , 6, B, B, r, T, ,LJ" A, E, e, )1<, .lK, 3, 3, Ii, H,

a~~~~~~~~~~~n, n,~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~a,~~ M~ these symbols are also used in Russian, although they do not always represent the same sounds. The following symbOls used in Russian are not found in Bulgarian: hI, bl, a, EI. Some of the symbols used in Bulgarian are not found in the cyrillic alphabet used for Serbocroatian: fl, it, ll!, I,l!, 'h, 1>, 10, 10, H, R, b. On the other hand, there are some symbols used in Serbocroatian cyrillic which are not used in Bulgarian:n, h, D , i),J,j, V,v,]b, JD, lb, lb.

The alphabet given above for present day Bulgarian is the result of an orthographic change of February 17, 1945, which eliminated two symbols from the alphabet: JK, '" and 1>, t. The former was repl~ced by D, 1> in all positions, and the latter by either E, e or H, ft, according to its pronunciation (see below).

Roughly speaking the symbols given above for Bulgarian re­present the same sounds as in Russian (except, of course, for the reduced vowels in Russian) or in Serbocroatian with the following important exceptions: Il!, 1M stands for the sound "sht", and D, 1> is always pronounced something like "u" in American "butter" or the grunted indefinite article "a".

C !

JU

J' (none)

According to the standard practice of the literary language, i; was pronounced as H when a) it was accented, and b) the next syllable contained a hard vowel (a, 0, '1>, and y), and c) when i; was not followed immediately by )1(, ill, IJ!, 'I, or ii.

Dialects

The two main dialects of Bulgarian, the eastern and the western, are usually differentiated by their treatment of Old Slavic t.

[n western Bulgaria t was pronounced "c" in all positions.

12

In eastern Bulgaria it was pronounced either "e" or "$I" ac­cording to the rules given abovc. For example, the Bulgarian word for "milk" is pronounced (and now written) MAeKo in the west and MAHKO in the east. Simi larly, the adjective "big" is ro.M:M in the west and rOARM in the east.

Eastern Bulgarian may be further subdivided into north­eastern and southeastern. The northeastern i~ that just given, namely, i; is pronounced ei ther "e" or "$I", according to given rules. The southeastern dialect pronounces it "$I" when stressed and e when unstressed.

Phonology

In addition to what has already been said above the following phenomena should be noted:

Vowels

I. "A" and "$I" are pronounced like "'1>" and "ti'1>" respectively in the following places: a) in the first person singular and the third person plural of verbs of the first and second conjugations, and in "ca" (Cn) "they are"; e.g. ped (peKi.), crOM (CTOtii.), peKat (peKi.T), croiiT (CTOtii.T) ; and b) in the articulated forms of the singular of masculine nouns: e.g. KpaK, Kpad (KpaKi.), AeH, AeHRT (AeHtii.T).

2. " M " and "e" do not palatalize the preceding consonant (as in Russian), except "K", "r", and "x", or, put in another way, a palatalized consonant (see below under consonants) cannot stand before "H" or "e".

3. "A", "e" and "0", when unaccented, tend to be reduced in the direction of"'1>", "ll", and "y" respectively. This is especially true for the northeastern dialect ofTirnovo.

Consonants

I. The following consonants have palatalized correspondents:

GBrA3KAMlInpcTq> x u

'3

Page 7: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

The sequence "palatalized consonant plus vowel" is written with the consonant letter plus Jl (in the case of "a" and "'I> "), 10 (in the case ofHy"), and 1.0 (in the case of "0") .

Nou that before "e" and HH" the palatalized correspondent is Mt used in Bulgarian except in the case of uK", "r", and "x" (see above under vowels 2.).

2. The palatal consonants (as distinguished from the pala­talized consonants above) are )1<, A>K, q , and w. They have no palatalized correspondents.

3. The following voiceless consonants have voiced correspon­dents as indicated:

voiceless voiced

A voiced consonant is unvoiced before a voiceless consonant: PRA'I>K, pRTKa; pi3rosop, paCKa3; nOA "roro, nOT K1.1A!aTa. Vice versa, a voiceless consonant is voiced before a voiced ' conso­nant (except B plus a vowel): roCTR, OO36a; OTB6p, 6AfOBOp; c BJipa, 3 66AKa; BHc6K 6pex, BHc6r 6a"p.

Note that a phrase consisting of preposition plus noun is con­sidered as a unit for the operation of these rules.

4. In word final position the voiced consonants are pronounced as their voiceless correspondents before a pause (in absolute final position), before a vowel, or before M, H, p, A (the sonants) and B, and their palatalized correspondents: rpu (rpaT), rpaT OXPHT, rpaT Pyce, rpaT SHAHH.

5. Unlike Russian, Bulgarian never has a palatalized consonant at the end of a word or before another consonant. Thus the final HT" in .. M1.APOCT" is not palatalized, nor is the "c" in " nHcM6". (Cf. Russian MYApocn. and nHchMo). For the situation before a vowel see above under Consonants I . and under Vowels 2.

6. In the consonant clusters -CT, -~, and similar clusters ending in "T" or "-A", the "T" or"A"is not pronounced before another consonant, except before "K", "r", "x", and "A". Thus p3..AOCTeH, p3..A?CHa (written paAOCTHa), PaAOCTa (written paAOCTTa), H61A!eH, H6i,ijHa (written 116~Ha), HOI,Ua (written Ho~TA).

LESSON I

General View of Nouns - The Present Tense of "to

be" and "to have" - Statement of Verbal Aspect

Bulgarian has three genders; masculine, feminine, and neuter. Most masculine nouns end in a consonant (including -A) ; some masculine nouns end in -a, -0, and -H, but these indicate male human beings.

Examples: "'''' city 6a1A!a father nerKO Petko 6paT brother HHK6Aa Nikola T6HbO Tonyo ApyM road '1"'10 uncle Ileno Pepo KOH horse BynqO uncle MUTKO Milko KpaA end re6prn Georgi

Most fiminitu nouns end in -a or -Jl ; some feminines end in a consonant (these used to end in a soft consonant - more properly soft jer - and correspond to the -i- stems of the other Slavic languages). Such are usually abstract nouns, many of which end in -oCT.

Examples: BOAa water np6AeT Spring ceCTpa sister HOI,\! night Maca table naMeT memory 3CUR land piAOCT JOY

Most neuter nouns end in -0 or -e.

Examples: cbo village MOpe! sea nHCM6 letter nOAe field BHHMaHHe attention Kyqe dog

15

Page 8: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

General state.ment or declension

The declension of Bulgarian nouns has been greatly reduced. The plural is not declined. Neuter nouns are not declined in either thc singular or thc plural. Fcminine nouns have only a vocative singular in -0 or -e (or like thc basic form). M asculine nouns have only a vocative singular in -e, -0, or -M. Most mono­syllabic masculine nouns form their plurals in -aBe or -eBe. Most polysyllabic masculine nouns form their plurals in -i. Feminine nouns form thcir plural in -H (or less frequently -e). Neuter nouns form their plurals in -a, -Jl , or -Ta. Thesc arc only general state­ments; detailed treatment will be given in future lessons.

Examples:

SING. BASIC FORM VOC. SING. PLURAL BASIC FORM

that

Bulgarian vcrbs sharc with all other Slavic vcrbs the concept of "aspect". That is to say, somc vcrbs represent an action as con­tinuing, without rcgard to the completion of the action; these verbs are imperfective (HecBDpweH). Other verbs (often from the same roots as imperfective verbs) represent an action as com­pletc; there are perfective (cB'i.pweH). In the vocabularies eaf;h verb will iSe marked as either perfective or imperfective, and somctimes the othcr aspcct will also be given for information. More will be said about aspect in subsequent lessons.

LESSON 2

Postpositive Article - Present of Verbs in ·e

Postpositive Article, SiDgalar

A. Nouns ending in' a vowel.

I) Nouns ending in -a in the singular use the postpositive

article -Ta.

Examples: BOAa Maca 6atya

- 8OA:iTa - MacaTa - 6a~aTa

water table father

2) Nouns ending in -0, -e, -H, and -y in the singular use the postpositive article -TO.

Examples: etAo - ctAOTO village MOpe - MOp60 .ea aTawe - aTawao attache TaKcd - TaKcWro taxi MeHio - MeH.oTo menu

B. Nouns ending in a C01Uonant.

I) M asculine nouns ending in a consonant use two forms of the postpositive article, a long form in -'l>T or -H'T, and a short form in -a or - 11. In these cases both -a and -51 are pronounced -'l>. In the spoken language the -T of the long form is not pronounced ; thus there is usually no difference in the spoken language between the two forms.

Examples: rpaA city KOH horse

20

rpaAiT, rp3Aa KOH.IIT, KOHR

the city the horse

a) Use of the long and short fonns . Generally speaking the long form is used as a subject or as a predicate after the copula. The short fonn is used as the object of a verb or preposition. Thus the long form is " nominative" and the short fonn is "accusative" .

Exa mples: rp<LA~T e roAIiM T OBa e rpaAi T Bd>tCAaM rp3Aa

The city is large. T his is the city. I see the city.

b) Nouns of agent iii -TeA, -ap, and -Rp, and the words: AeR, day, KOH, horse, OlDH; fire, CbH, dream, uap, tsar, KpaA, king, IThT, time, road, seT, brother-in-law, AanT, elbow, HOX'l>T, nail, take the article in - .lIT, short form in -Jr.

Examples : AeHJi(T) XOHJt (T) OlDHR(T) ChH_(T), and ChHiT, ChHa yaP' (T) KpW(T) niTR(T) 3eTR(T) A;U'l>U (T) H6nTR (T) 6j>'bcHapH(T) rp3AHHapll{T) y<nITeAJI (T) nHCaTeAH (T) KOHJipH (T)

the day the horse the fire the dream the tsar the king the time, the road the brother-in-law the elbow the nail the barber the gardner the teacher the writer the horse-fancier

c) Nouns in -H3'l>M drop the 'Eo before the article. Examples: KOMYHU3'EoM, KOMYHH3M'bT, natpHoTH3'hM, naTpHOTH3M'l>T.

2) . Feminine nouns ending in a consonant use the post­pbsitive article -Ta. This -Ta is always stressed.

"

Page 11: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Examples: HOI1!, HOl,I!Ta naMeT, naMeTTa

piAOCT, PaAOCTTa

night memory

JOY

The orthographic doubling~f the -T is not mirrored in pronuncia­tion. The words are pronounced as if there were only one -T.

Postpos itive Article, Plural, All Genders

A. Nouns ending in -e, or -H in the plural use the article -Te.

Examples: CHHOBe sons cHHoBe-re the sons

MaliKH mothers MafiKHTe t he mothers

BofiHHUH soldiers BOfiHltUHTe the sold iers

yllHTeAH teachers YllHTeAHTe the teachers

B. Nouns ending in -a or -lI. in the p lural use the article -Ta.

EXERCISE 5 B

In the village there afe four houses. In one of the houses there is a man. The man has a son and three daughters. He has no wife. The son has an uncle. The uncle is a shoemaker. The girl is young and pretty. Comrade, where is the shoemaker's house? Is there a vacation in April, Ivan? There is, but I do not know when. Stojan has a horse. Peter sees the horse and buys the ox. How many oxen does Stojan have? The uncle walks many times from the city. Do you know how many times? There is no meat in the city. The Bulgarian's book is on the table. Peter's wife buys bread and meat, apples and pears, J ohn's dog and cat, and the Serb's books and pencils. It seems to me that that is enough. " Write a letter!" "But I am the teacher. I do not have a pencil. Only the students have pencils." " Open the door, please. Close the windows in this room ; it is cold here. Let's not speak so loudly ; it is not necessary. Let them look at the river and the fish. Villager, sing this song for a foreigner {for the foreigner)."

LESSON 6

The Aorist and the Future - The Infinitive

The Aorist (MlIHMO CB'bpWeHO BpeMe)

The personal endings of the aorist of all three conjugations are:

1st person 2nd person 3d person

-x ·XMe ·XTe -xa

Since one cannot with certainty predict for all verbs the aorist stem from the present, the aorist of each verb will be given as a principal part in the vocabulary, except for verbs of the third conjugation, in which the present stem and the aorist stem are the same with the possible exception of the accent.·

Examples: mhaM mhax I asked mt:wa nHcax I wrote peKa pt><ox I said HOC. HOCHX I carried AaM AciAox I gave npOlleTci n poqe-rox I read AOBeAa AOBeAox I led A'bp)Ka A"bP)l{ax I held HanpasJl Hanpa1U1X I did n03HaJl n03Hax I recognized n030Ba n030Bax I called Bl,pHa Bl,pHaX I returned

• A system for forming the aorist (and al50 the present) from the "verbal stem" can be found in Appendix I.

47

Page 24: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Although the aorist cannot be predicted exactly ii-om the form of the present, a few general remarks about certain groups of verbs may be helpful.

A. The aorist of first conjugation verbs (with presents in -ew) ends in -ax or -xx with the exception of the following:

I. There is a small but important group of verbs of the first conjugation which form the aorist by dropping the ending of the present and adding -0- before the ending of the 1st sing. and all plural, and -e- in the 2nd and 3d persons sing. The most common of this group together with their compounds are: neKa, neqew, neKox, to bake; peKa, petfbu, peKox, to say; TeKa, Teqelll, Tt!KOX, to flow ; BAeKa, BAeqem, BAAKOX, BAetfe, to drag; ceKa, ceqem, ceKox, to cut; naca, nacew, nacox, to pasture; Tpeca, Tpecew, TpeCOX, to shake; -Heca, -Hecew, -H(!COX, to carry; -All3a, -Aeaew, -Ni30X, -Aeae, to go; MeTa, MeTelll, MeTox, to sweep with a broom; llAeTa, nACTem, nAerox, to plait, to weave; 'leTa, '1CTeIlI, '1eTOX, to read ; 60Aa, 6oAew, 66AOX, to pierce; KA<lAa, KAaAem, KA3.Aox, to lay (a fire); KP<lAa, XpaAeW, Xp3.Aox, to steal; npeAa, npeAew, npeAox, to spin (thread); -BcAa, -BeAew, -BeAox, to lead; AaM, AMew, AaAox, to give; aM, HAeW, MOX, to eat; paCTa, paCTew, paCTox, to grow; AOiiAa, AoiiAew, AoitAox, to come.

2. Verbs in -ya, -nJl, and -lOa drop the -a and add the personal endings of the aorist directly to the stem: e.g. qy$(, qyew, 'Iyx; nn$(, nnew, mIX; IlAIb$(, llAWeIlI, llAK)X.

B. Of the aorists ending in -ax or -JIX of the first conjugation verbs the following groups may be discerned .:

I. Verbs in -Ha have the aorist in -Hax: e.g. AHrua, AnrHem, AHruax.

2. Verbs In -eJI drop thc -e- and have the aorist in -llx: e.g. neR, neern, nn; }KUBe$(, .>KHBeeW, }KUBllx.

Exceptions: H<lAeJIX ce, HaAeew ce, HaJl;eaX, to hope; AOAe$(, AOAeew, AOAeJIX, to bore; aeJl, aeew, acilx, to gape, to stand wide open.

C. The aorist of second conjugation verbs (with presents in -Hw) ends in either -HX or -JIX (ax after palatal consonants),

I. Verbs with the accent on any syllable other than the final one have the aorist in -HX. (Exception : BRAn, BRAHW, BHAh, to see).

2. Some verbs with the accent on the final syllable have the aorist in -ux and some have it in -n (or -ax).

The following verbs have the aorist in -HX: I. Verbs in -oJi, -ai, and -yi. E.g. 6poJi, 6POHW, 6POHX, to count; Tall, TaHW, TaHX, to be silent; CTpyJi, CTPYHW, CTpynx, to flow. (Exceptions: 6oi, 6oHw, 601ix, to be afraid; CTOll, CTOHlU, CTon, to stand. ) 2. Verbs in -ilia. E.g. cywa, CYWHlll, CYWHX, to dry; rpewa, rpewHw, rpewHx, to sin; TeWa, TeWHW, TewHx, to comfort.

Note on accent in the aorist: When the verb is simple the accent may be either on the ending or on the syllable before the ending, except I) for verbs with aorists in -ox, and 2) when the accent of the present is on the final syllable, in which case the accent of the aorist can be only on the final syllable. BuAJbc is an exception here with its accent only on the final syllable; its present is. BUM.

Verbs with aorists in -ox (except Aoi1Aox and OTHAOX) have the accent on the syllable before the ending, even when the accent of the present is on the final syllable.

When the verb is compounded by a prefix that makes a separate syllable the accent of the aorist is always the same as that of the present. (Exceptions would be "B" and "c"; e.g. BAo}Ka, CA6}Ka - BA6}KHX, CAO}KUX).

The Future (6"bAel!!e BpeMe)

The future is expressed by the particle l,ije plus the present of the verb. lJ!e always precedes the verb.

Example: I shall write, etc. aa I!!e miIIIa Tn I!!e nuwew TOll lI!e nuwe

Hue I!!e nHweM BHe I,ge OHweTe Te ij!e n"waT

The negative form of the future tense usually is formed with

49

Page 25: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

HHNa Aa plus the present. Less frequently He lJ!e is used with the present. In such cases the accent is always on I!!e.

Example: I shall not have, etc. a3 HAMa Aa "MaM a3 He I.I!e HNaM TH HHMa Aa HMaw TH He y!e HMaw ToA HHMa Aa HMa ToA He I.I!e HMa

HHe HHMa Aa HMaTe HHe He I.Ue aMaMe SHe HRMa Aa aMaTe BHe He w;e HMaTe Te HRMa Aa aMaT Te He ~e HMaT

Note I: The . particle lJ!e must not be confused with the in­flected verb lI!a which ordinarily means "to want", but is also used in the formation of certain other tenses (see Lessons Thirteen and Fifteen).

The In6nitive (H"4)MUHTHB)

Generally speaking, Bulgarian has no longer any infinitive, but remains of an old infinitive are found in some expressions. The form of the infinitive in the present day language is t he same as t hat of the 3d person singular of the aorist tense.

Examples: MOJKe 6H, it is possible, perhaps; Mo)tCeM K33a, we can say; cnlra XOAH, (far) enough, that will do ! ; CTHra roOOpIf, say no more! (instead ofcnfra CTe XOAHAIf, CTHra cre roBOpMH).

The infinitive is found frequently in the negative imperative with HeAett, HeAettTe. E.g. HeAeiiTe "Ie-re, do not read; HeAettTe tIAaKa, do not cry, weep (instead of HeAeiiTe Aa "leThe, HeAeATe Aa tIAhere) .

Formation of the Perfective Aspect

,l3 and 'Ie - The Imperfect

LES SON 7

The present tense of perfective verbs cannot be used in the main clause, but only in a subordinate clause, where it frequently has a future sense. Example: MUeN! Aa Hanurna IUICM6 Ha M~aH. I think I shall write a letter to John.

Generally speaking cvery action in Bulgarian can be expressed by two verbs, one imperfective and the other perfective.

For the most part, simple (HenpoH3B6AHH ) verbs (uncompound­ed) a re imperfective. E.g. roB6ps, to speak, mirna, to write, JKHB6I:, to live, tUiCTs, to clean, cns, to sleep. There are, however, about fifty that are perfective, among which are : ...:taM, to give, KoDKa, to say, Kaqa, to climb, Kyns, to buy, nAad, to pay, npaTlI, to send, o p6cJl, to ask, peKa, to say, perna, to decide, cK6qa, to jump, cbJl ce, to remember, ryps, to place, XB"iPAJI. to throw.

The most common way of making an imperfective verb into a perfective verb is by adding a prefix. E.g. 'leTa, n po-'ICTa, to read ; nurna, Ha-mlrna, to write.

The most common prefixes for verbs are :' B- (B'1», B'I>3-, Ao-

3<\-, J.l3-, Ha-, HaA-, 0- (06-), OT-, no-, nOA-, npe-, "peA-, npH-, npo-, paa-, c- (C'b-), and YO.

The accent of a verb can never fa ll on the prefix. The prefixes not only make a simple imperfective verb perfec­

tive, but they often also alter the meaning of the verb. E.g. 6epa, to gather, J.l3-6epa, to select, pa3-6epa, to understand; fAe­AaM, to look, pa3-rA~aM, to survey, etc. The prefixes Ha-, no-, o po-, and 0- often, however, express only perfective aspect, and do not altcr the meaning. E.g. mirna, Ha-nHrna, to write, "lCTa, npo-'IeTa, to read.

53

Page 27: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Perfectives in -Ha

Some verbs can also form a perfective by suffixing -Ha to the simple imperfective. E.g ..... e)tu\, to lie, Acr-Ha, to lie down, COeTJI:, cob-lIa, to light, rpell, rpett-Ha, to burn, to warm, 'IYxaM, 'IYK-Ha, to hammer, pound, knock.

T here are some verbs in -Ha that are imperfective. E.g. 6pi.cHa, to brush, racHa, to extinguish, rHHa, to perish, riHa, to fold , Mp;':JHa, to freeze, riHa, to drown, TpenHa, to start, be star­tled, rnenHa , to whisper.

There are some verbs whose si mple form never occurs un­compounded. E.g. -eMa is not found except in such compounds as noeMa, npHeMa, 3aeMa, B3eMa, oTHeMa, etc.; -npa is found only in AOnpa, cnpa, onpa, etc.; -.... y'la, only in nOAy.u, YAylla ; and -AO)Ka only in CAO)Ka, no»o)Ka, npHA6)Ka, U3AO)Ka, etc.

Aa and 'Ie

Since Bulgarian has no infinitive (see Lesson 6) Aa plus the present is used in its place to express a complementary verbal idea. MHCAJI Aa HAa, [ intend (think) to go; "CUM Aa KynJl, I want to buy; M6ra Aa OHN!, I can see, etc.

On the other hand , 'Ie is used where in English we would expect "that" rather than a complementary infinitive. MHCAH, 'Ie Bue CTe YMOpeH, H e thinks that you are tired; Tott K3.30a, 'Ie Ta3H Aeo6ttKa e uerOoa eeeTpa, H e says that this gi rl is his sister.

In other words, after M6ra and verbs of wishing, intending and the like, one uses Aa; after verbs of thinking, saying, noting, believing, and the like, one uses 'Ie.

The I:m.perfect (MUHMO HeCO'bprneno opeMe)

The endings of the imperfect are as follows:

Verbs of the 1St and 2nd Conj. Verbs of the 3d Conj. Sing. P I. Sing. PI.

I -n (-ex) -AxMe (-exMe) -ax (-n) -aXMe (-JlXMe) 2 -erne (-erne) -IIXTe (-exTe) -arne (-.11llle) -aXTe (-.IIXTe) 3 -ewe (-erne) -Jlxa (-exa) -arne (-Hrne) -axa (-Jlu)

54

The endings of the imperfect a re added to the present stem of the verb, which is found by dropping the -ern, -lIrn, or -Jlrn from the second person singular of the present tense.

Verbs of the 1st and 2nd conj ugations with the accent on the final syllable of the 1St person singular of the present use the forms which are not in parentheses in the first and second columns above. All other verbs of the 1st and 2nd conjugations use the forms in parentheses in the firs t and second columns

above. Verbs of the 1St and 2nd conjugations whose present stems

end in -lI , -)K, -rn, or a vowel can have their imperfects in either -ex or -ax, if the final syllable is accented in the 1st person singular of the present tense ; but there seems to be a preference for -ax. The accent of the imperfect is the same as the accent

of the present.

Examples: mn-aM mt.Tax I asked

mirna nHrnex I wrote

ped pe'lax (pe'lex) I said

H6u Hocex 1 carried

A'M A'NIx I gave

npoQCTa npo'ledx I read

n03HaH n03HaeX I recognized

n0300a n0300lix I called

oi.pHa oi.pHex I turned

The imperfect of the verb " to be" is perfectly regular:

EXERCISE 7 B

The mao on the street saw the car and ran into the house. He told J oho's brother that he wanted to buy {he land, but his brother was not willing to sell the meadow. You will know even the most distant parts of our land. Sit down, please! I shall tell you a strange story. Twenty years ago the shepherd Delcho found a child in a cave. When the child saw Delcho it began to cry and Delcho picked up the baby. Then the baby was silent and suddenl y it smi led. Delcho took the child - the son a of great chorbadzhi - home and told his (CM following the word for "wife") wife to light a fire, to boil some water, and to make some soup. The woman prepared the food and the child ate greedily. Delcho told his (Cll following the word for "wife" ) wife that they would try to find the child's parents in the village. Ddcho. the bandit who (Kolho) became a shepherd, went to the village to ask in the lavern if the tavern· keeper knew of the lost child . The tavern was closed, and Delcho went to the (village) council. The president of the council said that, if they wanted to keep the baby, the chil~ could stay with Delcho.

The long forms of the accusative are used always after preposi. tions. The short forms are sometimes used together with the long forms at the beginning of a sentence, in which cases they follow the long forms. T he long form is also used when there is a logical emphasis on the pronoun.

T he long form of the dative is rare (except for Mene Mil and TOOe TIl). In its place one uses Ha plus the long form of the ac. cusative. E.g. Ha Hac, to us, Ha Bac, to you, Ha TJlX, to them. The short form of the dative is widely used as a dative of pos_ session instead of the possessive adjectives, e.g. KHuraTa MH e TaM, my book is there. The short forms are unaccented enclitics; but ·after He they take an accent. The accent on H above is merely orthographic. The reflexive refers back to the subject of its clause, whatever person, gender, or number that subject may be.

Adj ectives in Bulgarian distinguish three genders in the singular, but there is only one fo rm for all three genders in the plural.

Example: xy6as, xy6a8a, xy6a80, xy6a8u

The masculine singular of the adjective has a vocative in · H, e.g. MHAH cUHe, dear son ; AparH np" frreAlO, dear friend. .

Attributive adjectives, rather than the nouns which they modify, take the article. T his article has the same form as for nouns, except for the masculine singular, which inserts · If·.

Examples:

6,

Page 31: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Comparison of Adjectives

The comparative is formed by prefixing the particle no- to the positive. The superlative is formed by prefixing the particle HaA- to the positive. These particles are joined to the adjective by a hyphen. The primary accent of the word falls on the particle.

Examples:

more beautiful better

Haii-xy6aB HMi-A06-i.p

most beautiful best

The preposition used after both the comparative and the super­lative is "OT". ITi.neW"bT e no-xy6as OT AHHHTa, The melon is better than the watermelon. With verbs "OTKOAKOTO" is used instead of "aT". no 06H'IaM n-i.newa, OTKOAKOTO AHHRTa, I prefer the melon to the watermelon (rather than the watermelon).

Irregular comparison. MHOro, noselle, HaA-se'le much, more, most.

The comparative particles may also be prefixed to nouns, verbs, or prepositional phrases. Examples: TH Cll nOIOHaK01' MeHe, You are more ofa hero than I. HaA 06H'IaM fUTKo, I like Petko best. EAa no K"bM MeHe, Come more towards me!

Formation of Adverbs from Adjectives

The neuter singular of the adjective is frequently used adverbially. Examples: Tofi rooopewe 6-i.P30, He was speaking rapidly. Te AO'AAoxa K-i.CHO, They came late.

Note r. When a noun is followed by the "dative of possession", the noun must be articulated, unless the relationship expressed is that of immediate family.

E.g. JKeHa MH, my wife, 6aI,Ua MH, my father, but KHHrara MH, my book, wanKaTa MH, my hat, etc.

6,

Note 2. Word Ordtr The short forms of the personal pronouns have no accent of

their own and are enclitic. They cannot, therefore, stand first in a sentence. They usually precede the verb in the sentence. Verbal enclitics precede pronominal enclitics except "e", which follows. If there is both a dative and an accusative pronoun, the dative precedes the accusative. If the verb begins the sen­tence, the pronouns, of course, follow it.

Examples: Hue ro nOOHaaaMe A06pe, We know him welL n03Ha­saMe ro A06pe, We know him well. TH Mn ro AaAe, She gave it to me.

In the future tense the pronouns may come between the par­ticle Il!e and the present form, or between HliMa Aa and the present in the case of the negative. In the future tense the inter­rogative enclitic AH follows the verb, not the particle IJ!e.

Examples: ll!e K<l)l{a Ai-I? Toli I,Ue TIl TO AaAe HliMa Aa Bu KaJKa

Formation of the Imperfective Aspect ­

The Perfect

LESSON 9

Perfective verbs can be made into imperfective verbs by adding one of the suffixes: -aM (-JIM), -BaM, -asaM (-ilBaM). E.g. Koi)f{a, d.3BaM, to say; H3roPJ1, H3nipllM, to burn; Kynll, KynysaM (the only verb in -ysaM), to buy; CKPHII, cKpHBaM, to hide. These suffixes change only the aspect, not the basic meaning of the verb.

f. The suffix -BaM is the most common of those given above and is added to verbs of all (hree conjugations. We have seen already KoUKa, Kcl3BaM, to say, and CKPMH, cKpHBaM, to hide. Other examples are: nOAnHwa, nOAnHcsaM, to sign, Tp'irHa, Tpi.I'BaM, to go, HaKapaM, HaKapBaM, to drive.

2. The suffix -ilBaM (-asaM after)f{, 'I, w, l,l!, and )f{A) is added to verbs of the 2nd conjugation which have the accent on the last syllable. E.g. npe6pos, npe6poRBaM, to count over, Harpw, Harpalf\AaBaM, to reward.

3. The suffix -aM is added to a few verbs in the I st conjugation. E.g. H3nAeTa, H3nAHTaM, to weave, H3peKa, H3pH'IaM, to express, to speak, yMpa, yMHpaM, to die, B3eMa, B3eMaM, to take, HaMepll, HaMHpaM, to find, HanpeAa, HanpHAaM, to progress.

Note: The root vowels "e" and "0" of the perfective become U u" and "a" in the imperfective. E.g. (in addition to the above) u3CeKa, U3CH'IaM, to cut out, nOMorHa, nOMaraM, to help, CAO)f{a, cAaraM, to place together. (B3eMaM is an exception, but the form B3HMaM is not uncommon. ) When there is no vowel in the root of the perfective, an -H- is inserted in the imperfective. E.g. (in addition to YMpa, YMHpaM above) npocTpa, npocTHpaM, to spread, cnpa, CmtpaM, to stop, c'bapa, C'b3HpaM, to see, perceive.

Page 34: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

4. The suffix -JIM is added chiefly to verbs of the 2nd conju­gation. E.g. H3roPR, H3rapJlM, to burn up, nOBT6pJl, n08TapJIM, to repeat, H3MeHi, H3MeH11M, to exchange, IlAad, IlAaij!aM, to pay, YAOB.tl, YA3.e11M, to hunt for, to find, H3rpaAJi, H3rpilKAaM, to build.

Noles: a) An -0- in the root ofthe'perftctive frequently becomes -a- in the imperfective. Examples above, and also OTp6S.II, OTpiBJlM to poison. But e.g. pacx6AJ1 (ce), paCX6JKAaM (ce) to take a walk.

b ) Before -JIM the consonants "TU and "Au are changed, to "J,I!" and "JKA" respectively, after which -11M becomes -aM. In addition to examples above, cf. npaTJI, npaij!aM, to send, POAR, p3JK.AaM, to bear, give binh to, sHAR. BHJKAaM, to see.

5· Perfectives in -Ha sometimes change the root vowel -e- to -Jl­in the imperfective. E.g. 6AecHa, 6,MCKaM, to glisten, AerHa, AAraM, to lie, cMbHa, cMRTaM, to count, CeAHa, cliAaM, to seat oneself, TpecHa, TpAcKaM, to shake.

6. Foreign borrowings in -HpaM are regularly both perfective and imperfective. E.g. TCAecpoHHpaM, to telephone.

It seems clear that -a- and to a less extent -1I- are characteristic root vowels for the imperfective; whereas -e- and -0- a re characteristic for the perfective.

The perfect is a compound tense made up of the aorist past particle of the verb plus the present tense of "to be". The aorist past participle is formed on the aorist stem by dropping the -x of the first person singular of the aorist and adding the participial endings -A, -Aa, -AO, -All. Aorist stems ending in -0 change the -0- to 1> before the participial endings; verbal roots ending in -A

or -T drop the -A or -T before the -A- of the participle.

68

Examples: mlTaM mtTaX m1:T3.A C'hM I asked mlllla nRcax nRc3.A C'hM I wrote ped, peKOX peK'bA C'hM I said H6u HOCHX HOCHA C'hM I carried

A·M A3.AOX AaA C'bM I gave npoqeni. npoqaox opoqe.... C'hM I read AoseAa AostAox AOSe.... C'hM I led A'bp)Ka A'bP}Kax A'bP}K3.A C'hM I held Hanp3.e11 HanpasHx HanpasHA C'hM I did n03HM n03Hax Il03H3.A C'hM I recognized n030sa n0lOsax n030S3.A C'hM I called sipHa S'bpHaX SiPH3.A C'hM I returned

Note that -ft- in the participial ending is replaced by -e- be-fore the -H of the plural. E.g. }KHSeJl, }KHBAX, }KRSflA, }KHBeAR.

The perfect presents a complcted past action as a present accepted fact and is less definite, or less specific, and more general than the aorist. It frequently has the sense of the English present perfect, presenting an event without references to context.

Example: KyoHA C'bM CH H6so naAT6 I have bought a new coat (simply a general statement, referring rather to the posses­sion of the coat than to the buying of it). Kynux Clf H6so oaAT6 I bought a new coat (a specific act of buying a coat).

Note. Word Order If the verb form is compounded the pronouns may come

between the auxiliary and the participle. In cases when the com pound verb begins the sentence with the participle the pronoun is inserted between the participle and the a uxiliary only if the verb is in the 3d person singular.

Examples: T" Mll ro e AaAa A3 C1>M TlI ro AaA. TlI Cll Mil ro AaA.

She gave it to me. I gave it to you. You gave it to me.

EXERCISE 9 B

As Enyo walks across the ploughed fields in the Spring he feels the strength of the la nd. In the middle of the field. on a small hill. stands a huge oak tree. Next to Enyo's field is his brother Ivan's fine m eadow. Ivan did not want to sell the meadow to Enyo, and Enyo was very troubled. The farmers make fun of Enyo for his greed for land . One day Ivan goes to the field to cut down the huge oak tree on his meadow, and Enyo sets out for the ci ty. At lunch (time) Ivan rests under the partly cut oak tree

70

and after eating h e falls asleep . Enyo returns across the fields and past the oak tree where his brother is sleeping. Enyo lifts up a big rock from a n earby pile and strikes his brother, but he does not kill him. After this h e cuts down the oak so tha t it crashes over the body of his brother.

LE SSON 12

The Pluperfect - The Future Perfect

The Pluperfect (MHHaAO npeABapHTeAHo BpeMe)

The pluperfect is a compound tense formed by the imperfect of "to be" plus the aorist past participle of the verb.

Examples: 6HX nHTftA I had asked 6HX OHCftA I had written 6HX peK"}'A I had said 6HX H6cHA I had carned 6JlX AaA. I had given 6xx npoqeA I had read 6JlX AOBeA I had led 6HX A'bP}l(ftA I had held 6HX HanpaBHA I had done 6xx n03HiA I had recognized 6HX n030B::iA I had call ed 6HX Bi.pHiA I had returned

As in other languages the pluperfcct expresses action in the past which took place before other action in the past. Example: MY:JHKaTa 6ellle npeCTaHaAa, a lllyMi.T 6ellle )'THXH<lA, KOraTO BH.ltRX AeB6tiKaTa. The music had stopped and the noisc had ceased, when I saw the girl.

The Future Perfect (6i.Ac~e npeABapHTeAHo BpeMc)

The future perfcct is formed by l,I!e plus the perfect tensc of the verb.

Page 42: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Examples: l,1!e C"hW mhiA l,1!e C"hM n"ciA l,1!e C"hM pCK'hA l,1!e CbM HOCHA l,1!e CDM AaA l,1!e CDM npoqiA

I shall have asked I shall have wrtiten I shall have said I shall have carried [ shall have given I shall have read

The future perfect is used to express an action in the future which will be completed before some other action in the future. Example: WBaH I,l!e e H30pa.... H"BaTa, KOraTO MY AOHecaT 66eAa. J ohn will have finished ploughing the field, when they bring him his lunch.

The negative is HA:Ma Aa plus the perfect tense of the verb.

Example: HiMa Aa C'bM npoqb, [ shall not have read.

LESSON 13

The Future in Past Time -

The Conditional - Conditions

The Future in Pa.t Time (lii.Ael,ije 8peMe 8 MHHaAOTO)

The Future in Past Time is formed from the imperfect of the verb lJ!a plas Aa and the present tense of the verb. The imperfect of!!!a is:

The future in Past Time of "to write" is then:

J,WlX Aa nHwa lJ!eWe Aa nHwew I1!twe Aa nHwe

qybc:Me Aa nHweM I,IJJ[XTe Aa nHWeTe qybc:a Aa nHwaT

The Future in Past Time indicates an action which is future to some past action or some past point in time.

Example: IlYoc Aa OTifAa Ha TeaTbp CHO!!!H, HO BaAeWe A"hllCA.

I was about to go (I would have gone) to the theatre last night, but it rained.

The negative of the Future in Past Time is composed of the in­declinable HRMawe plus Aa plus the present tense of the verb.

Example: HliMawe Aa qed. I would not have read.

Gram,marians also recognize a form of this tense (Future in Past Time) which is composed of the indeclinable particle l,ije plus the imperfect of the verb. E.g. lI!e qedx I shall have read. This form of the tense is rare.

There exists also a Future Perfect in Past Time which is com-

88

posed of the imperfect ofl,Qa plus Aa plus the perfect of the verb. E.g. IJ!n: Aa C'hM qeA. I would have read. This tense is also very rare.

The Coaditioa.al Mood (YCA08HO HaKAOHCHHe)

The Conditional Mood. is made up of the following forms of "to be" plus the aorist past participle of the verb.

6"" 6. 6.

6tbcMe 6HXTe 6Hxa

The Conditional of "to write" is then:

6ax nHcM 6" nHcM 6H \Ul:cM

6HxMe nHcAA" 6HXTe nHcMH 6Hxa nHcMu

The enclitics may be inserted between 6HX and the participle.

Example: lime MY 1'0 AaA. I would give it to him.

The Conditional occurs chiefly in hypothetical conditional clauses (see below) and in some polite circumlocutions.

Example: AKo CH HaMep. (6HX HaMepHA) Apynip, 6HX ontW'loA c YAoBoAcnme AOBeqepa Ha Te3.Tbp. If I find (should find) a companion, I would gladly go to the theatre this evening.

The U.e oflm.perCectives ia -BaM to Indicate Hypothetical Future

Imperfectives in -BaM will occasionally be found with the sense of future possibility, if certain conditions are met. Such usage is half ~ay between a future and a conditional. It is rare.

Examples: Op3.BAM, aKO He BaAR. I shall be glad to plough, if it does not rain. JlABaw AU nelleHo npace? JlABaM, aKO HMaw xy6aoo BRHue.

Page 45: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Would you eat some rout pork? I would, if you have some good wine. (Examples from Beaulieu.)

Conditions

The subordinating conjunction indicating condition is aK6, "jf". I. In simple conditions the conjunction is all that is need to

indicate the condition. With it are used the relevant tenses of the indicative, namely, present, aorist, perfe(:t, fu ture, in either the "if-clause" (protuis) or in the main clause (apodosis), ac­cording to the time and type of action described.

Note that in simple future conditions the present tense is regu­larly used in the " if:.clause" and the future in the main clause.

AK6 A6AAe, 33 l,I!e Tpi.l'Ha. If he comes, I shall go. Ax6 Ch6ephe napH, l,I!e onlACTe s E'hAnipIIJl. If you coUect the money, you will go to Bulgaria.

2. The Conditional Mood may be used in either the "if-clause" or the main clause to express doubt or some degree of the hypo­thctical.

Example : AK6 nOArra (6HX nOA)'quA) napH, 6HX cn KynHA KHH­raTa Ha £..uiH ilCAHH . If I receive (should re(:eive) money, I would buy the book of Elin Pelino

3· Unreal conditions in the present arc expressed by the imperfect j unreal conditions in the past are expressed by the pluperfect.

Example: AK6 ToA 6ewe AOuriA, 33 t,WIX Aa Tpi.l'Ha. If he had come, I would have gone. Ax6 HMax napH, I,I!liIX Aa KynJl KHHraTa. If I had money, I would buy the book.

LE SSON 14

Indirect Narration - The Indirect Imperfect -

The Indirect .Fonn for the Aorist

Direct and Indirect Narratioll

Bulgarian distinguishes between a statement of fact which is vouched for on the empirical authority of the speaker (direct narration) and a statement which the speaker makes not on his own empirical authority (indirect narration ).

All the forms of the verb presented so far are used for direct narration. For each of them there is a corresponding form used in indirect na rration, although there are some forms which are w ed in two different ways or correspond to two different tenses of direct narration. The first such form is the " Indirect Imper. feet" .

Indirect hnperfect

The Indirect Imperfect is a compound tense made up of the present tense of the verb " to be" plus the imperfect past participle of the verb. The imperfect past participle is formed by dropping the ·x of the first person singular of the imperfect tense and adding the participial endings -A, -Aa, -AO, -AM. The auxiliary is omitted in the 3d person both singular and plural.

Examples :

mhaM OJlwa

mhax nHwex peqAx(tx) Hocex ""asax

mlTaA C"bM

",'WeA C"bM

pe'l1A(b) C'bM HoceA C'bM ""asaA C"bM.

I was (am) asking I was (am) writing I was (am ) saying I was (am) carrying I was (am) giving

A'loplKa A'>p",Ax(tx) A'bPJK8.A(b) OM I was (am ) holding

npU' npasex npueA CDM I was (am) doing

n03HM n0311aex n03HaeA C'bM I was (am) recognizing

n030Ba n030BAx n030B ..... CDM I was (am) calling

ripHa Bi.pHex Bi.pHeA CDM I was (am ) returning

The Indirect Imperfect form is used in indirect narration for both the present (cerawHo BpeNe) and the imperfect (NUHaAO HecB'bpWeHO BpeMe).

Examples : 11 BH)K K3J(BO HelJ!O ca H3MUCAHAH: KO/tTO ce 3aOUWeA (for KoAro ce 3anHwe) 3a qAeH, He TpA6BaAO (for He TJ>A6Ba) Aa XOAH AO Kpi.qMHTe. And see what kind of thing they thought up: whoever registered as a member, did not have to go around to

the tavem s. Tux AHH B eAHo A03e 6HAa 3a6w3aHa B'bAqHua CDC ce6me

B'bAtH~Ta, J(oriTo ru y..eAa (fo r y..ewe) K3K Aa HaniAaT. Those days in one vineyard there were noted a she-wolf with her wolf cubs, as she was teaching them how to attack.

The form of the perfect (t.UtHaAO HeonpeAbeHo speMe) is used in indirect narration to represent the aorist (MUHaAO cBipweHo BpeMe). In this usage the auxiliary (e, cal is omitted in the third penon singula r and plural.

Examples: T oA Kaaa, "Ie CDM TH AaA napuTe B'Iepa. He said that I gave

you money yesterday. lfyx, "Ie ToA My AaA napHTe. I heard that he gave him the

money.

LESSON 15

The Indirect Plupenect - The Indirect Future -

The Indirect Future Penect

The Indirect Pluperfect

The indirect pluperfect is a compound tense composed of the perfect of the verb "to be" plus the aorist past participle.

Examples:

6HA C"hM nttTiA 6IIA C"hM OttCM 6IIA C"bM peK'hA 6HA C'bM HOCHA 6HA C"bM AaA GIlA C'hM A"hP*M 6IIA C'hM HaOpaS"A 6UA C"hM U03UM 6"A C"hM n030BiA 611A C'bM Bi.pUiA

I had asked I had written I had said I had carried ] had given ] had held I had done I had recognized I had called I had returned

The indirect pluperfect is used in indirect narration and cor­responds to both the perfect and the pluperfect in direct narra­tion. As in all other indirect narration forms, the auxiliary (e, ca) in the third person singular and plural is omitted.

Examples:

Direct: CAeA KaT6 TH 6J1x AaA naptt, OTttAOX B C6cpHJI When had given you money, I departed for Sofia.

Indirect: ToA My Ka33.A, 'I.e ITmp OTllllEbA, CAeA KaT6 C"hM My 6IIA AaA oaptt He told him that Peter departed when I had given him money.

99

Page 50: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Direct: KaJKH Ae! KaJKH ! H a KOro CDM HW HeJ,ijO, a? Tell me t Tell me ! Whose things have I eaten?

Indirect: X6AaH, 6aA B'hA'I:Ute! HHKOM)" HUIl!;O He CU 6HA H3M.. Ah, brother Wolfie! You haven't eaten anything of anybody's.

The Indirect Future

The indirect future is composed of the perfect tense of J,ija plus "da" and the present of the verb.

Examples:

JWIA CDM Aa DmaM 1J!.AA CDM Aa Duwa J,ij1lA C'bM Aa ped 1J!.AA CD>K Aa HOCJl 1J!.AA C'bJK Aa 'led. 1J!.AA CDM Aa AOBeA3. Il!;IIA CDM Aa AaM IJYlA CDM Aa A'hPJK3. 1J!.AA CDM Aa HanpuK IJYlA CDM Aa n03Hu J,ij1lA C'bM Aa n00083.

I would ask I would write I would say I would carry I would read I would bring I would give I would hold I would do I would recognize I would call

The indirect future corresponds to the simple future and also to the Future in Past Time of direct narration.

Example:

BjPHO AM e, 'Ie CM IJYlA Aa 3aMMHuaw? Is it true that you would go (or will go)?

The Indirect: Future Perfect

The indirect future perfect is composed of the perfect tense of J,Qa plus uda" and the perfect of the verb.

Examples:

100

JWIA CDM Aa C'bM rnIT3A IJYlA C'bM Aa C'bM "uciA 1J!.AA C'bM Aa C'bM piK"bA J,WlA C'bM Aa CDM HOCHA

I would have asked I would have written I would have said I would have carned

JWlA C'bM Aa C'ltM AaA I would have given I would have held I would have done

JWIA C'bM Aa C'bM A"bP>KiA JWlA C'bM Aa C'bM HanpilutA JWIA CDM ,1I.a C'bM n03HiA IJYlA C'bM Aa C'bM n0308iA

I would have recognized I would have called

This tense corresponds both to the future perfect and to the future perfect in past time of direct narration.

The 6HA Forma

A stronger form of all indirect narration tenses may be made by adding 6HA to the normal indirect narration tense. For example, instead of C'bM npaeeA of the indirect imperfect one can say 6HA CDM npaseA; instead of the JWIA C'bM Aa npuJI of the indirect futu re, one can say JWIA C'bM 6HA ,1I.a npasK ; instead of the J,ijllA

CDM Aa CDM DpasHA of the indirect fut~re perfect one ca.n use J,ijJIA C'hM 6HA Aa C'bM npaeHA. Where there is a lready a 6HA m the

tense, it is not repeated. H owever, these forms are very rarely used. The following table of direct tenses of the verb with the

corresponding indirect tenses may be useful:

LESSON . 6

The Participles - The Gerund

Bulgarian has five participles, as follows:

J. Present active participle (cerauIHo AelkTBHT(:AHO npH. d.CTJfe).

a. It ends in -aJ,y (-Slll!), and sometimes in elj!, for verbs of the first and second conjugations which have the accent on the ending, and in all third conjugation verbs.

Examples: " 'T' - '1eTJllj! reading Ted. - Te'lI<\11! flowing rAeAaM - rA~aJ,y looking npHcrnraM - npHCTHral,l! a rriving

b. It ends in -el,l! for verbs of the first and second conjugations whose accent is on any syllable except the ending.

Examples: ros6PJl )kHBeJl

HOC'

- roB6pelJ! - )ttHBeelA! - H6celJ!

speaking living carrying

The present active participle is rare in the spoken language, although two such participles at least have become regular ad­jectives: ropbJ! hot, and BOHel!! smelly. Both of these illustrate the fact that verbs of the first and second conjugations with the accent on the ending may also end in -elll as well as in -alll (-III,l!). Another example is in the following sentence: Cenle, xor.iTo n.pMRJ,yaTa MawliHa Ha6AJl)KH np6\e3a, TOft H3TH'la AO p6\cHTe.

<06

I

2. Aorist active participle (MHHaAO cripweHo AeACTBHTeAHO npHd.cTHe).

a. It is formed by adding -A to the aorist stem.

Examples: micax H6cHX rA~ax

- "HCM - H6cHA - rAcAL.

written carried looked

b. Verbs that form the aorist with -ox drop a "A" or "T" before the "A" of the participle.

Examples: '1CToX 66AOX

read pierced

c. Verbs tha t form the aorist with -ox that have roots ending h h "" "" dd ·" hi "" " in a consonant ot er t an A or T a a movea e ~

between the root and the "A" of the participle in the mascu line singular.

Examples: peKOX AOHCCOX

- peK1>A - AOHCC"bA

spoken brought

We have already met this participle as it is used in the formation of compound tenses: perfect, pluperfect, indirect pluperfect, future perfect, indirect future perfect; and also in the conditional mood . It can also be used as a participle independently of these tenses.

Examples : Toli ce pwawe Ha nX:TeHlma, AOwb. OT AaAC'IeH Kpatt. He was pleased with the guest come (who had come) from a distant region.

It is frozen in a few phrases like MHHaAaTa roAHHa last year.

3. Imperfect active participle (MHHaAO HeCB1>pWeHO AeAc­TBHTeAliO npH'IaCTJfe).

It is also formed by adding an -A, but this time to the imperfect stem.

Examples: '1erlix - 'leTHA read rAcAax - rACAllA looked x6Aex - X6ACA walked

.0)

Page 54: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

In some verbs, where the aorist and the imperfect stems have the same form, the imperfect active participle and the aorist active participle also have the same form.

Examples: r.M~Aax

npaix looked endured

In some usages there is a difference in accent; in other words, some people make a difference between these two participles (as they do between the two tenses also) by using one accent in the imperfect 'and another in the aorist, even when the verb has a prefix .

Examples: pasfAe:lKAax - pa3rAe:lKAaA surveyed (imperfect) P:UfAe:lKAU - pasrAe:lKAiA surveyed (aorist) rAeiax - fA~aA

rAe,dx - rAeAM

In principle the accent on the final syllable for a verb whose accent in the present is on the root is dialectical.

This participle we have seen in the formation of the indirect imperfect. It has no other use.

Verbs with an imperfect active participle in -M in the singular, ·change -11- to -e- in the plural.

Examples: 'letHA, 'lerha, 'leTAAO, 'IeTCAH read.

But verbs of the third conjugation keep -H- in the plural also.

4. PreHnt pa •• ive participle (cerawHo CTpaAaTeAHO npHd­CTHe)

This is now a regular adjective rather than a participle. It is formed by the ending -HM or -eM.

Examples:

AI06H, AI06HW S6AH, S6AHW ros6p1l, ros6PHW

- A,ooHM - SOAHM - roSOpHM

being loved (beloved) leadable being spoken (spoken)

It is often found in the negative to indicate impossibility.

Examples :

(YMsA, YAOSHW) HeYAOSw. (no6eAi, no6eAHw) HenOOeAHM (06x6AA'. 06x6AHw) HeOOxOAHM

not to be found unconquerable, invincible indispensible

5. P •• t pa .. ive participle (""IHaAO CTPaAareAHO npH'IaCTHe)

The past passive participle is formed on the aorist stem.

a. Verbs in -Ha and monosyllabic verbs with roots ending In a vowel form the participle with -T.

Examples : SARma, BAHmu '1'111, 'Iyx n03Hu. nooHu

- 8AuI'HaT - ' YT - nOOH3.T

h. All . other verbs use the ending -H.

- mt:caH

raised heard known

written Examples: nucax, oucax rAeAaM, fA~a.x - rA~aH seen (looked at)

I. Verbs of the first conjugation with aorists in -ox and verbs of the second conjugation in -HX, use the ending -eH.

Examples: 'led., 'Ibox - 'laeH read AOHeca, AOHecox - AOHeceH brought ped., p6tox - pe'leH said HOcH, H6cHX - HOceH carried roTB1I, r6TBHX - rOTBeH prepared

c. Verbs in -ell with a monosyllabis.,root can have participles both in - H and -T, with a preference for -T.

Examples: nOAell, noAh H3n6l. H3m

Harpell, Harpflx

- nom. nom - H3nh, H3 niH

- Harpkr, HarpKu

poured sung warmed

d. Participles of verbs with an aorist in -JIX change the -Ji- of the participle to -e- in the plural.

log

Page 55: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

Examples : nOAtR, nOAJlx - nOARH, nOAtHH.

All of the above participles can have articulated forms and change in gender and number.

The Ger1llld

This is an indeclinable verbal form not very frequently found and restricted to the written language. It is possible only for imper­fective verbs. It ends in -eAKH in the first and second conjugations and -aAKH (-JlAKH) in the third.

Examples: '1m, 'Ie-rem 'IeTtibm reading TeKa, Te'lem TeqeAKH flowing n6J, ntew nteitKH singing XOAJI, XOAHW xOAeAKlI walking r.M~AaM, rAtAalU rA~aAKH looking CTpb.ni, crpb.RW crpbRAKH shooting

Appendix'

I. The Verbal Stems

In predicting the present and aorist tenses of Bulgarian verbs from the verbal stem, one must begin by distinguishing the following verbal stems:

I . stems in -i, stressed and unstressed krivt- doi-, nOsi-, nezi-

ll. stems e~ding in stressed -a after a palatal or palatalized consonant or -J

6.

8.

t'rpja-. leza-. stoja- . stems ending in stressed -a not after a palatal or palatahzed

consonant or -J kova-, pomena- .

stems in unstressed -a except those In -na Hza-

stems in unstressed -na digna-

stems in -0

neso-stems in -ij

PIJ-stems in -aj (or -j aj)

igraj-

• I am indebted to Dr. J oseph Van Campen, Assistent P~fts$()r of Sla~ic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University for thlS system, which represenu an application to the Bulgarian verb of ~roressor Roman Jako~ son'. conception of the R ussian conjugation. It 15 treated more fully . m Dr. Van Campen', doctoral dissertation. Cerlain changes have been m· troduced ror pedagogical purposes.

Page 63: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

9. stems in -uj (or -juj) t':uj-

10. -stems in -ej pej-

J 1. stems in -aj (or -jaj) vikaj-

II. The Present Tense

Step One. Rules for Desinence in the present.

J. Stems in -i, stressed and unstressed (no. r) or in stressed.a after a palatal consonant or -j (except for monosyllabic stems ending in COIllJOnant plus -r plus -ja, no. 2) have the second person singular in -i§.

2. Stems ending in unstressed -aj have the present in -m, _§ added directly to the stem, which ends in -a.

g. All others have the second person singular in -d.

Step Two. Stem Changes.

A. A verbal stem ending in a vowel (nos. 1- 6 above) drops that \!'owel before the endings of the present.

I. Stems in -i, stressed or unstressed, use the palatalized corre­spondent for the preceding phoneme, if one exists, before the ending -a of the first person singular of the present. The ending of the second person is -i§, which is added to the stem without palatalization of the final consonant.

krivi-, kriv- plus -ja, krivja, krivi§ n6si-, nos- plus -j a, n6sja, n6si§ nefi-, neta, ne!i§

If the phoneme before -i is a vowel, a -j- is inserted before the ending -a.

doi-, do- plus -j- plus -a, doja, doi§

2. Stems in -a, stressed or unstressed, are identical, except for pronunciation (see Introduction, p. 13), with the fint penon

126

,

f 1 t

I )

singular of the present. The second penon singular haa the ending -d, except as noted below under a) .

kova-, kava, kovB pomemi-, pomena, pomenB digna-, digna, dignd

a) Stems in stressed -a after a palatal or palatalized consonant or -j, except for monosyllabic stems ending in consonant plus -r plus -ja, have the ending -i§ in the second person singular. Note that the final -j of the stem is dropped before this ending; or a final palatalized consonant is depalatalized.

t'rpja-, t'rpja, t'rpi§ leM-, leM, leZi§ stoja-, stoja, stoi§

b) Monosyllabic stems ending in consonant plus r plus -ja lose the palatal or palatalized consonant before the -a (pronounced ') of the present endings, and have the ending -B in the second person singular.

umr'a-, umra, umre§

c) Stems in -a change an immediately preceding k (g, h) to t': (f, §) respectively before the -e endings of the present. (Cf. below 3)

t'ka-, t'ka, t't':B (This is the only verb affected .)

d) Stems in unstressed -a change an immediately preceding s, z, k, g, sk, and zg into §, f, c, f, §t' (§t before -e) and :!d' (:!d before -e) before the present endings, and in the case of other consonants use their palatalized correspondent, if there is one, before the -a endings of the present.

opasa-, opah, op:i§e! Hza-, kaza, Htd plaka-, placa, place! I"ga-, I"fa, I"ie! draska-, dr:i§tja, drMtd glozga-, gloidja (mod. gloZda), glM.dd kapa-, kapja, kapd drja.ma-, dremja, dn!md

Page 64: Beginning Bulgarian.pdf

3. Stems in -<> normally shift the accent to the endings. The ending of the second person singular is -d. An immediately preceding k, g, and h, is changed to e, z, and § respectively before the -e endings of the present. (Cf. above 2C)

neso-, nesa, nesB reker, reki, reCB mog6--, m6ga, m6zB v'rh6--, v'rha, v'riB

B. Verbal stems ending in -j (nos. 7-11 above), except for those

f

in unstressed -aj (no. II above), add the present endings directly , to the stem. The second person singular is in -d. Note that the f final -j of the stem is dropped before the -e ending-of the present.

pij-, pija, pid igraj-, igraja, igrad euj-, euja, CUd pej-, peja, peeS

a) Stems ending in unstressed -aj drop the -j and add the present personal endings -m, -§, -, -me, -te, -t.

vikaj-, vikam, vika§, etc.

III. The Aorist Tense

A. Verbal stems ending in a vowel (nos. 1-6) are identical with the aorist stem. The endings -h, -, -, -hme, -hte, -ha are added directly to the stem.

krivi, krivih doi-, doih n6si-, n6sih neE-, nezih

t' rpja-, t'rpjah Id'-, Id.h stoja-, stojah kova-, kovah

pomena-, pomenah kaza-, kizah digna-, dignah neso-, nboh

I. Stems in -0 replace -<> by -e in the 2nd and 3d person singular with the same consonant changes as in the present, i.e. an im­mediately preceding k; g, and h is changed to e, z, and§respect­ively.

reko-, rekoh" reee

uS

\

B. Verbal stems ending in -j (nos. 7-11 above), except those in -ej (no. 10), drop the -j and add the aorist endings.

pij-, pih t uh cuh igraj-, igrah vikaj-, vikah

I. Stems in -ej replace -e by -a and palatalize the preceding consonant, if possible.

pej-, pjah gr~i-. grjah zivej -, zivjah
