The object of research is to be found in the Czech active preteritе forms and their Bulgarian functional equivalents. The aim is to present the results of a synchronic contrastive analysis as a fan of functional equivalents and to prepare an algorithm for optimal translation of these finite verb forms from Czech into Bulgarian.

Key words: Czech, Bulgarian, interlingual asymmetry, preterite, preterite microfield, functional equivalent, fan of functional equivalents, translated algorithm
