Good night

Here is the final time-based greeting, although this phrase is often used to say good night when leaving a host's house or going to bed rather than as an initial greeting. Today, we'll learn how to say "Good night."

Let's do it backwards this time. The second word in the phrase is:

nosht

The word means night. It is a feminine noun.

So, here's the test. What gender should the adjective in the phrase take: masculine, feminine, or netural?

If you said feminine, you are correct. As we learned last week, an adjective always adapts its gender to the gender of the noun that it is modifying.

Let's look now at the first word in the phrase:

leka

Leka literally means light. It doesn't mean light as in the opposite of dark; it means light as in the opposite of heavy. If you wanted to use this adjective to describe a masculine noun, you would use "lek." If you wanted to modify a neutral noun, you would use "leko."

Now we know how to say "Good night" in Bulgarian: leka nosht.

Leka nosht everyone.
