Hi, I live in England but my partner and I are moving to Bulgaria soon. I have been learning for a few months, but need more practice speaking Bulgarian! I am a freelance web designer, and am interested in farming, rock climbing, cooking, walking and cycling, but I can pretty much talk about anything :-) I'm looking forward to chatting with you here and helping you to practice your English, as well as me learning new Bulgarian.

    They all mean the same thing, but in modern usage you would usually use "remember". "Recall" also has other meanings - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/recall

    The phrase "belong to" indicates ownership. e.g. I have a car. The car belongs to me. The phrase "belong with" indicates that two things should be together as a group or pair. e.g. " I have a CD. It belongs with my other CDs in the cupboard. In the phrase "you belong with me", a person is saying that they believe the two people should be together, and is considered to be romantic! Many years ago you would often hear the phrase "You belong to me", meaning the same thing, especially in pop songs, but this would nowadays be considered old fashioned and a bit creepy.

    Finishing telephone conversations When I'm talking to my tutor on Skype I'm not sure how to finish our conversation. In English I often use a polite series of phrases or endings to draw a conversation to a close. It goes something like this: (A conversation has happened) Me: Ok, well thanks for a lovely class. (this indicates that I'm happy to finish the conversation here. It gives both parties time to bring up anything else they urgently need to talk about) Tutor: Ok, well I'll see you next time (Their response indicates that they too are happy to end the conversation) Me: Hope you have a nice day (Some general pleasantry) Tutor: you too (their response) Me: Goodbye Tutor: Goodbye (The conversation has now finished and I can safely hang up without causing offence) Is this kind of politeness necessary in Bulgarian, and how might this scenario go in Bulgarian? Many thanks, Joe

    Indicating possession Hi, I have learned how to make statements about family members, so I can say for instance 'my brother lives in England' - Братът ми живее в Англия. But suppose I wanted to talk about someone else's brother? How could I say 'Ivan's brother lives in England'? Много благодаря!

    The horse

    The horse is the best friend of mankind. It's very faithful and strong. In olden days* it was used to carry people and goods from place to place. Nowadays we use it in racing and circuses**. We call the male horse a stallion, and the female a mare, and for the baby male horse is called a colt and for the baby female horse, a foal. Personally I*** like Arabian horses so much.

     

    * Or you could say "In the past"

    ** Racing is a sport,so is singular. A circus is a noun. Horses are used in a lot of circuses, so you would use the plural form.

    *** I, when referring to yourself, is always capital letter


    I hope this is helpful!

    All three are correct, but none of them would make sense if you left the 'any' out. Hope this helps!
