| Eric: Hi, everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Tanya: And I'm Tanya. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Bulgarian about being exhausted. Яна (Yana) feels exhausted after a long day at work, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Tanya: Толкова съм изтощена, не мога даже и да мисля. (Tolkova sam iztoshtena, ne moga dazhe i da mislya.) |
| Eric: Meaning - "I'm so exhausted that I cannot even think." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Яна (Yana)'s post. |
| Tanya: Толкова съм изтощена, не мога даже и да мисля. (Tolkova sam iztoshtena, ne moga dazhe i da mislya.) |
| Eric: "I'm so exhausted that I cannot even think." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Толкова съм изтощена, не мога даже и да мисля. (Tolkova sam iztoshtena, ne moga dazhe i da mislya.) (Regular) Толкова съм изтощена, не мога даже и да мисля. (Tolkova sam iztoshtena, ne moga dazhe i da mislya.) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I'm so exhausted." |
| Tanya: толкова съм изтощена (tolkova sam iztoshtena) |
| Eric: There are three gender forms in Bulgarian. They apply to different parts of speech, among which are the adjectives. In this particular case, we can easily guess that we have a female speaker, as they use the feminine form. That is… |
| Tanya: изтощена. |
| Eric: Listen again - "I'm so exhausted" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) толкова съм изтощена (tolkova sam iztoshtena) (REGULAR) толкова съм изтощена (tolkova sam iztoshtena) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "I cannot even think." |
| Tanya: не мога даже и да мисля (ne moga dazhe i da mislya) |
| Eric: It’s very easy to create the negative form of a verb - you simply put two elements … |
| Tanya: не - ne |
| Eric: The only exception is the verb… |
| Tanya: имам |
| Eric: It means “to have.” The negative form of the verb is… |
| Tanya: нямам |
| Eric: Listen again - "I cannot even think" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) не мога даже и да мисля (ne moga dazhe i da mislya) (REGULAR) не мога даже и да мисля (ne moga dazhe i da mislya) |
| Eric: Altogether, "I'm so exhausted that I cannot even think." |
| Tanya: Толкова съм изтощена, не мога даже и да мисля. (Tolkova sam iztoshtena, ne moga dazhe i da mislya.) |
