  As a Bessarabian Bulgarian from Ukraine and a speaker of almost extinct dialect very different from the standard language, I really appreciate this video.

  Bulgarian Turk here. Even though we keep our ethnic identity, a very large majority of our group speak Bulgarian fluently. Thank you for this video. Bulgaria is a unique country in every aspect and there is no other like it. I&apos;m grateful to call her my homeland.

  Having married a Bulgarian and having lived in Sofia for 5 years, I am one of just few native German speaker who learned the language fluently. It opened my eyes and my universe. It is very complex, rich in words and forces you to think in new ways. Learning a new language is the best brain training you can make. We go to the gym to stay physically fit? But how much training do we invest in our brain per day?

  That&apos;s so interesting! Scandinavian languages also have a definite ending like Bulgarian, and in Norwegian you can also put the personal pronoun after the subject. The Bulgarian way of saying &quot;my friend&quot; is strikingly similar to Norwegian: &quot;priyatelyat mi&quot; - priyatel (friend) -yat (the) mi (my) = &quot;vennen min&quot; - venn (friend) -en (the) min (my) - both would be &quot;friend-the my&quot;. So for Scandinavians, Bulgarian would be much more intuitive to learn than other Slavic languages! Especially with the absence of cases!

  I as a Slovak have a constant urge to put cases in those Bulgarian sentences every time I see them :D it&apos;s just so weird without those cases.

  I am a Serb living in Croatia. I adore Bulgarian language. I definitely can not say that I can speak it, but I definitely found out the way how to &quot;transform&quot; Serbian to Bulgarian by following some rules that are constant. It is hard do explain, but I love it. :) And when we visit Bulgaria (and it was for quite a few times so far) I always tend to speak Bulgarian as much as I could. And every time I learn something new. :)

  In Soviet Union, several Bulgarian newspapers and magazines were available, particularly, &quot;Паралели&quot; (&quot;Parallels&quot;). As a child, I found it relatively easy to read and understand, however, I never knew that those endings &quot;-та&quot;, &quot;-те&quot; etc. were actually definite articles. And, by the way, I&apos;ve learnt one of my first programming languages, Basic, reading a Bulgarian book &quot;Basic for microcomputer&quot;.

  As a Ukrainian living in Bulgaria for 8 months now, I can say that the more I discover Bulgarian, the more I fall in love with it🤩. And, of course, when one knows two Slavic languages, the third language is easier to master. It was no news to me that there are apparent similarities between Bulgarian and Russian. Still, I was a bit surprised that there are also many vocabulary intersections between Ukrainian and Bulgarian, including ancient layers of Slavic words and some words borrowed by both languages from Turkish.
