Overview
The conditional mood in Bulgarian is formed by adding the suffixes -а, -я, -е, -те to the verb stem. The suffixes depend on the conjugation of the verb.
Conjugation
The conjugation of the verb determines which suffix is used.
- First conjugation: -а
- Second conjugation: -я
- Third conjugation: -е

Examples
Here are some examples of verbs in the conditional mood:
- Давам (to give): даваха (I would give)
- Говоря (to speak): говореха (I would speak)
- Пиша (to write): пишеха (I would write)
- Свивам (to sew): свивахте (we would sew)
