اشتباهات رایج

It is culturally polite to lead with a greeting before stating your name. Just jumping into the name can sound blunt.

Wrong: Аз съм Иван.
صحیح: Здравей, аз съм Иван.

Use 'Как си' for friends and 'Как сте' for formal situations or strangers. Mixing them can be seen as disrespectful.

Wrong: Как си? (to a stranger)
صحیح: Как сте? (to a stranger)

Bulgarian greetings are time-sensitive. 'Добър ден' is for the day, 'Добър вечер' for the evening.

Wrong: Добър ден (at night)
صحیح: Добър вечер (at night)
