Bulgarian[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Transliteration of French de.
Preposition[edit]
дьо • (djo)
- of; used in French loan terms
- Гледа ли вчера „Тур дьо Франс“?
- Gleda li včera „Tur djo Frans“?
- Did you watch the Tour de France yesterday?
Usage notes[edit]
- Used exclusively in transliterations and loanwords including the French preposition de; never used independently, and is usually isolated to French-language terminology and names, such as Tour de France.
Etymology 2[edit]
Transliteration of French deux.
Numeral[edit]
дьо • (djo)
- two; used in French loan terms
- Балерините танцуваха па дьо дьо.
- Balerinite tancuvaha pa djo djo.
- The ballerinas were dancing a pas de deux.
Usage notes[edit]
- Extremely rare usage, which is typically constrained to the term "pas de deux". Note that this form is identical to the prepositional form, which is contrarily a transliteration of de; the numeral form is also restricted to French loan terms, much like its prepositional counterpart.
