Verbs do not have an infinitive form. When referring to a verb, use the first person conjugation of that verb. Here are examples Bulgarian the citation form “to be”.

Example:

  • “to be” is “съм”
  • Съм is used for the citation form and for “I am”

Two conjugations of “съм”:

  • I am - Аз съм
  • he/she/it is - той/тя/то е

Examples:

  • “Той е мъж” - He is a man
  • “Тя е жена” - She is a woman
  • “Това е куче” - This is a dog

Since the conjugations are unique to each subject, the pronoun can be left out:

  • Instead of “аз съм мъж” (I am a man), you can say “мъж съм”
