Indicating failure to comprehend
Contexto cultural
Bulgarians are very proud of their language. Saying 'Не разбирам' with a smile often encourages them to speak more slowly or use simpler words to help you. In the Balkans, communication is often high-context. If you say 'Не разбирам', people might use a lot of hand gestures to explain. Among foreigners, 'Не разбирам' is often the first phrase learned and becomes a bit of an inside joke when navigating bureaucracy.
Add 'добре'
Saying 'Не разбирам добре' (I don't understand well) sounds a bit more advanced and polite.
The Nod
Remember that nodding 'yes' in Bulgaria can mean 'no'. Try to use words more than gestures at first.
