Signification
A large residential building.
Contexte culturel
In Bulgarian villages, a 'голяма къща' often signifies that the family was 'чорбаджии' (wealthy landowners) in the past. These houses usually have a 'чардак' (large wooden veranda). In cities like Sofia, having a 'голяма къща' is a luxury, as most people live in 'блокове' (apartment blocks). It is a symbol of the new middle class. A 'голяма къща' is expected to be 'гостоприемна' (hospitable). If you have a big house, you are expected to host large family gatherings with lots of food. The 'Възрожденска къща' (National Revival house) is the most iconic type of 'голяма къща' in Bulgaria, known for its bay windows and painted facades.
