Bulgarian lessons??

Thank you both for answering ^^ I was shocked that ама is same as но, I thought it was more complicated... Is ама more colloquial? So now, it's my turn to try...
Ами, има много хубави кънкъорки, ама Албена е нашето най-хубаво и най-мило слънче...
Oh, and with this sentence more questions come to my mind... Where should I use the article? And is the word for 'skater' the right one? It's what the dir dictionary said ^.^ I feel so dumb about Bulgarian grammar... I read a lot of Bulgarian (mostly scientific stuff =.=), thus my problems are colloquial expressions and grammar ^.^ Our teacher never explained us grammar and she's old and showed us old stuff and never did any conversation... So, thank you lots for your help ^^

Very good, Tanuki!
You used АМА and АМИ correctly

Quote :

Is ама more colloquial?

yes

I just want to correct a tiny mistake in your sentence:
Ами, има много хубави кънкьорки, ама Албена е нашето най-хубаво и най-мило слънце...

I'll give you "6" (the highest mark in Bulgaria) Even 6+ because of the contents of the phrase, I mean - the example you gave, with our sunshine

And Viki, what mark will you give to Tanuki ?

Huhu ^^ Thank you, Vania ^^ I also wondered why there was ъо instead of ьо, maybe I shouldn't trust an online dictionary that much and use my brain more ^.^ So how would you say 'little sun' then? I remember I've seen a cute diminutive in the Bulgarian forum that is Албенче...
Of course Albena is one of my biggest motivations to learn Bulgarian, but there is much more ^^ Many Bulgarian people I've met were so cordial and I think that Bulgarian traditional music is unique, the language itself is enchanting... By the way, in Germany 6 is the lowest mark ^^ Though you don't get it at the university, because everything below 4 is failed...

The diminutive is "слънчице". I can't explain you the logic of the formation of diminutives, if there's any . Sometimes I understand how difficult is to explain your own language to foreigners , because we know these things, but why smth is said in one way, and not in another...

Great job tanuki .
As for the diminutives it's been a while and my Grammar is not stong but those we use to make cutter names for young kid ,beloved person,small animal or something relly cute and sweet..Like for example girl /момиче /and little girl/момиченце/ it would be :
Mädchen=девочка
kleine Mädchen=девчонка

About the formation is kind of complicated .I'll try to find better Grammar explanation.
So here is :There are some specific exseptions but mostly for male names/nouns usualy is the root + -е, -енце, -че, -ле and for female names/ nouns is the root + е, -ле, -че,-ка, -ичка, -ничка .
This is a helpful link but in Bulgarian ,maybe with Google translate you'll get the idea..
