Overview[edit | edit source]

The conditional mood in Bulgarian is formed by adding the suffixes -Π°, -я, -Π΅, -Ρ‚Π΅ to the verb stem. The suffixes depend on the conjugation of the verb.

Conjugation[edit | edit source]

The conjugation of the verb determines which suffix is used.

  • First conjugation: -Π°
  • Second conjugation: -я
  • Third conjugation: -Π΅
  • Fourth conjugation: -Ρ‚Π΅

Examples[edit | edit source]

Here are some examples of verbs in the conditional mood:

  • Π”Π°Π²Π°ΠΌ (to give): Π΄Π°Π²Π°Ρ…Π° (I would give)
  • Говоря (to speak): Π³ΠΎΠ²ΠΎΡ€Π΅Ρ…Π° (I would speak)
  • Пиша (to write): ΠΏΠΈΡˆΠ΅Ρ…Π° (I would write)
  • Π‘Π²ΠΈΠ²Π°ΠΌ (to sew): свивахтС (we would sew)
