Signification
A large residence.
Contexte culturel
The 'Revival House' (Възрожденска къща) is a specific architectural style. These 'big houses' often have a ground floor for animals/storage and a wooden second floor for living. In the Balkans, building a large house is often a collective family effort, sometimes taking decades to finish as money becomes available. Owning a 'golyama kashta' in a city like Sofia is a sign of extreme wealth, as most people live in socialist-era apartment blocks. In villages, a 'golyama kashta' often implies the family was 'chiorbadzhii' (wealthy landowners) in the past.
Gender is Key
Always remember that 'къща' is feminine. If you forget the '-а' on 'голяма', you'll sound like a beginner.
Apartment vs House
Bulgarians are very specific about this. Don't call an apartment a 'къща' unless you want to sound very confused.
