Bulgarian Dictionary

Posted on October 23, 2009 by Michel in Language, Learning

Hey there!

We just launched a Bulgarian dictionary to translate words from English to Bulgarian. The translator works quite well for single words, but of course it has sometimes its problems to translate the meaning of a sentence (like every “automated translator” has). We recommend to check it out and to bookmark it in your browser, so you can access the Bulgarian dictionary at any time with a single click.

Visit the English Bulgarian Dictionary now.

We plan to launch also a Bulgarian-English dictionary in future if it is desired by the users. Please write a comment if you are interested in this feature or if you have any other feedback for the Bulgarian dictionary.

By the way, if you are not yet able to read the Cyrillic alphabet, then sign up on the right side to receive our study materials and the notification of our course, where you will learn the Bulgarian alphabet easily.

Hello in Bulgarian

Posted on September 10, 2009 by Michel in Culture, Language, Learning

How to say hello in Bulgarian? It’s not always done with a simple word. But you can learn here within 2 minutes how to greet in Bulgarian.

If you talk to a single person, whom you know very well, you say “zdrasti” or “zdravey” and if you talk to a group of friends you say just “zdraveyte”.

There is a difference if you say hello to someone, whom you don’t really know yet. Then you greet according to the daytime. In the morning you would say “dobro utro”, during the day “dobar den” and at evening you greet this person with “dobar vecher”.

Watch the following video, which will show you how to pronounce the words correctly.

Bulgarian Music

Posted on May 25, 2009 by Darina in Culture

“The Mistery of Bulgarian Voices” is not a name given by chance. The video above shows the most cherished Bulgarian song and singer – Izlel e Delio Haidutin by Valya Balkanska. This song has been chosen to be a part of the Voyager Golden Record selection of music included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. Most Bulgarians are quite proud of that

Traveller hint: If you like digging in the culture of the country you are visiting, and you like virgin forests and restful vacations you should go to the village of Gela. It is very small, but has the biggest folklore school for singing Bulgarian traditional music. Also, the nature is stunning and it is a great and quiet place to rest.

The Bulgarian traditional music varies a bit in the different parts of the country. The presented song is typical one for the Rodopi mount region. The distinctive regions are Dobrudzha, Sofia, Rodopi, Macedonia, Thrace and the Danube shore. The most famous traditional Bulgarian instrument is the bagpipe. However, there are also some other typical Bulgarian instruments like gadulka (guitar like instrument), kaval (similar to flute) and typan (drum). Besides the interesting voices and singing techniques, the traditional dancing which accompany the Bulgarian music is quite specific as well. The Horo dance is specific Bulgarian entertainment from the old times. It also varies depending of the music – fast or slow and also depending on the region in the country. The best way to show you what it is is to post another video below. Enjoy!
