Lesson focus

In Bulgaria, there are many delicious dishes! We've already covered how to order them, but now it's time to learn how to eat them! However, that is not always so straightforward. In this lesson, we'll learn how to ask "How do you eat this?"
In Bulgarian, "How do you eat this?" is Kak tryabva da se yade tova? Let's break it down by syllable. Kak trya-bva da se ya-de to-va? Then we have kak, which means "how." Then you have tryabva da, which means "must." The next word should be familiar: se yade means "to eat" or "to be eaten." The last word, tova, means "this." Literally, all together, it means "How this must be eaten." Now, while most of the Bulgarian dishes are quite straightforward, homemade cooking can get you more complicated dishes. When in doubt, say Kak tryabva da se yade tova?
Finally, we will talk about something that may come in handy for everyone who doesn't like hot things. Bulgarian cuisine is known for being spicy. While it's usually not the same spiciness as Indian food, it can come as shock for the unprepared. The question "Is this hot?" in Bulgarian is Lyuto li e? The first word, lyuto, means "spicy." Next, we have the particle you know well, li. Then, we end with e, which in English is "is." All together, we have Lyuto li e? Lyuto li e? "Is this spicy?"

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 eat this?" - Kak tryabva da se yade tova?
Kak tryabva da se yade tova?
Kak tryabva da se yade tova?
"Is this hot?" - Lyuto li e?
Lyuto li e?
