Signification
Asking about future plans
Contexte culturel
Bulgarians often use this phrase as a way to invite someone to join them. If you answer 'Nothing,' expect a follow-up invitation! The concept of 'future' in the Balkans is often more flexible and less rigid than in Northern Europe. Plans can change quickly. In Bulgarian offices, this is a common way to check if a colleague is overloaded or available for a new task. Young Bulgarians often shorten the phrase significantly in texts (e.g., 'кво ше праиш').
The 'Ще' Rule
Always remember that 'ще' never changes. It's your best friend for making future sentences easily.
Don't forget the 'ш'
If you say 'прави' instead of 'правиш', you are asking about someone else (he/she).
