Lesson focus

In the previous lessons, we introduced you to some phrases you can use when in Bulgaria, and this is the last lesson of the series dedicated to learning from the people around you. Today, we are going to cover "How do you read this?"
In Bulgarian, "How do you read this?" is Как трябва да се чете това? (Kak trybva da se chete tova?) Now let's hear it once again. Kak tryabva da se chete tova? The first word, kak, means "how." Next, we have tryabva, which in English means "must" or "should." Then da se chete is "to be read (out aloud)." Finally, we have the demonstrative adjective tova, which in English is "this." The entire sentence goes Kak trybva da se chete tova?
If you are pointing at something, probably in a book, in a newspaper, or simply at a street sign, you might also like to ask "How do you pronounce this?" which in Bulgarian is Как прочиташ това? (Kak prochitash tova?) Prochitash is "say out loud."
After you have learned the reading and the pronunciation, you will probably want to know about the meaning. So why don't you try to ask Какво означава? (Kakvo oznachava?), which means "What does it mean?" The first word, kakvo, means "what." Next, we have oznachava, which in English means "means." So all together, we have Kakvo oznachava? Literally, this means "What does it mean?"

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!
"How do you read this?" - Kak trybva da se chete tova?
Kak trybva da se chete tova?

"How do you pronounce this?" - Kak prochitash tova?
