Bedeutung
Describing cold temperature
Kultureller Hintergrund
The fear of 'techenie' (drafts) means that even if it's not 'студено' outside, Bulgarians might complain it's 'студено' if two windows are open. Warmed rakia (греяна ракия) with honey and black pepper is the traditional folk remedy for when it is 'студено'. Baba Marta (Grandmother March) is the personification of the cold, unpredictable weather in March. In the mountains, 'студено е' is often followed by an invitation to a 'mehana' (traditional tavern) for bean soup.
The 'O' Rule
Weather expressions in Bulgarian almost always end in 'o' (студено, топло, слънчево, облачно).
Avoid 'Аз съм'
Never use 'Аз съм' with weather adjectives to describe your feelings.
