For example: - младо момиче (mlado momiche) – "young girl" (neuter adjective младо agrees with neuter noun момиче). - зеленчукова градина (zelenchukova gradina) – "vegetable garden" (feminine adjective зеленчукова agrees with feminine noun градина). ### Related Words: - поливка (polivka) – "watering" (noun) - градинар (gradinar) – "gardener" - зеленчук (zelenchuk) – "vegetable" (noun) - момче (momche) – "boy" (contrast with момиче, "girl") - животно (zhivotno) – "animal" (general term, like котка, "cat") This sentence demonstrates how Bulgarian uses definite articles, relative pronouns, and verb conjugations to create clear and descriptive statements. |
