معنی
Raining very heavily
زمینه فرهنگی
In Bulgarian folklore, heavy rain is often associated with the 'Saint Elijah' (Sveti Iliya), who drives a chariot across the sky. When it pours, some elders say he is tipping his water. Across the Balkans, the 'vedro' was a symbol of household wealth. A full bucket meant life and health. The idiom reflects this deep connection to water vessels. In cities like Sofia, this phrase is often used to complain about the poor drainage systems (шахти) which overflow during such rains.
