10,000 most common Bulgarian words
Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday Bulgarian, with its meaning in English.
Bulgarian dropped the case endings that its Slavic neighbours kept and put a definite article on the end of the noun instead — unusual for the family, and it makes this list look more like Romanian than Russian in places.
