i thought, i'd teach you some lessons in bulgarian. there's a slight difficulty, the alphabet, cyrillic characters. but i guess, i can work around it and try to use the latin letters to come as close as possible to the way the words are pronounced in bulgarian.

let's start with something that's of current interest:


english bulgarian

bird flue = pileshky grip
people pleaser = litzemer (that's actually the kind that says what you wanna hear but talks bad about you behind your back)
economic crisis = iconomitchna crisa
lmao = popikavam se ot smyah (actually means: i piss myself laughing)



side note(s): 'i'='ee' as in feel, keep etc./'e' pronounced like in 'men', 'met' etc./'h' pronounced as in 'have', 'heaven' etc.

till next lesson.
so long,

L.

wow, responses 🙂 sorry guys, i haven't been on dxp for a while 😢

now, you wanna know the offensive phrases?


fcuk off/piss off ? ?ebi si maikata? (fcuk your mother) or ?mainata ti?
k u n t ? ?putka? ("u" pronounced as in 'to put' / "a" as in 'car')
a s s h o l e ? ?gus? (a s s) ("g" pronounced as in 'gun' / "u" as in 'gun', too)


what else do you wanna know—
what's a 'mangina'?

"I've dated a Bulgarian woman in the past. A very beautiful language indeed. IT is a softer Russian. It is a great language, I hope to learn it someday. LS how long have you been living in Germany?"

glad you like the sound of it. yeah, it sounds a bit like a softer russian, more rounded, i'd say. although, there are alful dialects that sound just ugly. but the normal pronounciation/intonation sounds quite nice 🙂
i've been living in germany for over than 17 years now. my parents fled with me from bulgaria when i was (almost) 13. we ended up in germany...

you know, i tried once to contact her. i didn't know her address or fon number coz they were secret information. so i sent a letter to her parent's house. she never replied. either she got it and didn't think it was worth it or she didn't get my letter. anyway, i guess she's changed a lot now, it was a long time ago. and my letter to her.. i sent that already 10 years ago. but now i remembered her again coz you were teaching us some bulgarian 🙂 nice memories anyway 🙂
