Bedeutung
Complaining or creating a scene.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Bulgaria, 'вдигане на шум' is often the only way to get a reaction from state institutions. It is a form of 'grassroots' pressure. Across the Balkans, being vocal about grievances is more socially acceptable than in Northern Europe. It's seen as being 'honest' about your feelings. Bulgarian Facebook groups like 'Майките на София' (Mothers of Sofia) are famous for 'raising noise' about urban issues, often leading to real changes. In Bulgarian offices, 'raising noise' can be risky depending on the hierarchy, but it is increasingly used by younger generations to demand better conditions.
Use 'около' for the topic
When you want to say what the fuss is about, always use 'около' (around). Example: 'Шум около сделката' (Noise around the deal).
Don't over-perfective
Use 'вдигна' only for a single event. If you are describing a habit of complaining, stick to 'вдига'.

While there isn't a direct word for 'Karen' in Bulgarian, describing someone as 'винаги вдига шум за всичко' (always making a fuss about everything) carries the same energy.
