Lesson focus
In the previous lesson, we covered how to ask to get something. In this lesson, we'll introduce you to another useful phrase for finding the place where you can get what you are looking for. Today's phrase is "Is there a (place) near here?"
First, we need a place. Let's use the word apteka, which means "pharmacy," but we can also translate it as "chemist" or "drug store."
In Bulgarian, "Is there a pharmacy near here?" is Има ли наблизо аптека? (Ima li nablizo apteka?)
The first word ima li means "is there."
This is followed by the word nablizo, which means "nearby" or "here" in English.
Last, we have apteka, which is "pharmacy."
To ask for a different place, we can just replace the word apteka with any other word and the phrase works just fine. Let's imagine you need to withdraw some money from your bank account.
In Bulgarian, "Is there an ATM near here?" is Има ли наблизо банкомат? (Ima li nablizo bankomat?)
The only thing that changes is the thing you are looking for, in this case an "ATM," which in Bulgarian is bankomat.

Outro
Okay, to close out this lesson, we’d like for you to practice what you just learned. I’ll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase, and you’re responsible for saying it out loud. You’ll have few seconds before I give you the answer. So, Успех! (Uspeh!) that means "Good luck!" in Bulgarian. Ok, here we go!
"Is there a pharmacy near here?" - Ima li nablizo apteka?
Ima li nablizo apteka?
Ima li nablizo apteka?
"Is there an ATM near here?" - Ima li nablizo bankomat?
Ima li nablizo bankomat?
Ima li nablizo bankomat?
All right. That’s going to do it for today. Remember to stop by BulgarianPod101.com and pick up the accompanying PDF. If you stop by, make sure to leave a comment. Довиждане (dovizhdane)!
