Signification
Stating a preference for music.
Contexte culturel
Music is often accompanied by 'horo' (traditional circle dance). If you say you love music, be prepared to be invited to dance! Younger Bulgarians are very into global pop and hip-hop, but there is a growing 'retro' trend of loving 90s Bulgarian pop. The Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival is a place where 'Обичам музика' takes on a spiritual meaning for thousands of people. In Sofia, street musicians are common in the subways. Saying 'Обичам музика' to them is a common way to show appreciation.
The 'M' is Key
Always remember the 'м' at the end of 'обичам'. Without it, you're not saying 'I love'!
Genre Matters
Bulgarians will immediately ask 'What kind?' Be ready with words like 'рок', 'поп', or 'джаз'.
