    Tǎrseh Georgi, a namerih tebe.
    I was looking for Georgi and I found you.
  2. the second-person singular pronoun in the prepositional case, used as the object of a preposition; you
    Не мога да живея без тебе.
    Ne moga da živeja bez tebe.
    I can't live without you.
    От тебе зависи.
    Ot tebe zavisi.

  3. (dated) full form of the second-person singular pronoun in the dative case, used as the indirect object of a verb; to you, for you, you
    Слава Тебе, Господи!
    Slava Tebe, Gospodi!
    Glory be to thee!, O Lord!/Thank God!/Thank goodness
    Тебе поръчаха да занесеш писмото.
    Tebe porǎčaha da zaneseš pismoto.

Usage notes

edit
  • The full dative form is considered outdated and is usually substituted by the preposition на (na) and the accusative form:
    На тебе поръчаха да занесеш писмото.
    Na tebe porǎčaha da zaneseš pismoto.
    They ordered you to take the letter.
