Understanding Comparative and Superlative Adjectives in Bulgarian
In Bulgarian, just like in English, we use adjectives to describe things. Sometimes we want to compare things, like saying one thing is bigger or better than another. That's when we use comparative and superlative adjectives.
Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things. In Bulgarian, we usually add the word 'по-' before the adjective to show that we are comparing. It's like saying 'more' in English.
Examples
- Това е по-голяма къща от онази.
- Той е по-висок от брат си.
- Тази книга е по-интересна от другата.
Superlative adjectives are used to show that something is the best or most of all. In Bulgarian, we add 'най-' before the adjective. It's like saying 'the most' or 'the best' in English.
Examples
- Това е най-голямата къща в квартала.
- Той е най-високият ученик в класа.
- Тази книга е най-интересната от всички.
Important Points
- Sometimes, adjectives can change completely in the comparative and superlative forms.
- For example, 'добър' (good) becomes 'по-добър' (better) and 'най-добър' (best).
Examples
- Той е по-добър в математиката от мен.
- Тя е най-добрата певица в групата.
