🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Bulgarians often use 'Добре съм' as a polite shield. If they say it quickly, they might not want to talk. If they say it slowly, they are inviting more conversation. In the Balkans, being 'too good' can be seen as suspicious or boastful. 'Добре съм' is the perfect humble-brag. On Facebook or Instagram, 'Добре съм' is often used ironically in memes to show someone who is clearly stressed but pretending to be fine. In a Bulgarian office, 'Добре съм' is the standard answer to avoid 'complaining' (оплакване), which is sometimes frowned upon in professional settings.

Yes, it's perfectly correct but slightly more emphatic, like saying ' *I* am doing well'.

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend.

Say 'Не съм добре'. Just add 'Не' before the verb.

Because 'how you are' is an adverbial state (well), not an adjectival quality (good).

Just saying 'Добре' is common in very casual settings.

Yes, it's the primary way to say you are healthy or recovered.

It usually means 'I'm fine/okay'. For 'great', use 'Много добре' or 'Отлично'.

Just change the intonation: 'Добре ли си?'

No! For that, use 'Добър съм по математика'.
