re: THE REAL BULGARIA

Would like to know some of the language- can you suggest any useful words/phrases?

We nearly went it alone but backed out and plumped for package deal at last min-told it was cheaper!

Thanks

re: THE REAL BULGARIA

The basics are=
Dobra Outro=Good Morning
Dobra Dan=Good Afternoon
Dobra Vetre=Good Night
Nesdravay=Cheers
Kahk steh=How are you
kolko stroovah tovah=How much is this
Molyah=Please
blahgodahryah=Thankyou
Smetkata molya=bill please
Damska toiletna=Ladies toilet
The spelling might not be right but they are spelt how you would say them.Give it a try and I bet you will be shocked at the response from the shopkeepers etc.Even just saying blahgodahryah will go along way.

re: THE REAL BULGARIA

close.... Cool as its phonetic its difficult to get it exactly right but .Dober den...good day, dober vetcher good evening kak ci or cte depending if you know someone or its plural for how are you, merci also passes for thank you as blagaderya is a bit formal, oshte biera/vodka/gin/uiski etc is important as that will get you reloaded, or if youre greedy oshte dva biera. And if you see a hunky bloke 'malki piski' which will get you sorted Razz Booze Booze

re: THE REAL BULGARIA

Not sure if I made something wrong, booked my Hotel this year in Samokov Town payed for a single room in a new 3* Hotel 15€ a night. I speak a worse bulgarian at well but enough to have no problems to travel around the country and know all these different prices over there. Great the trip to Melnik in the winter and the wine degustation.

So be sure here are some people knowing the real Bulgaria.
