意味
Asking for the identity of an object.
文化的背景
Pointing with your index finger is common when asking 'Какво е това?', but in very formal settings, it's more polite to use an open hand. When asking about food, Bulgarians will often offer you a taste immediately after answering. There is a shared vocabulary for many objects (like 'kafe', 'chai', 'pazar'). Asking 'Какво е това?' might reveal a word you already know from another language. The 'reversed' head gestures for yes/no can make the answer to 'Какво е това?' confusing for foreigners.
The Pointing Rule
Always point clearly when using this phrase to ensure the listener knows exactly which object you mean.
People vs. Objects
Remember: 'Какво' for things, 'Кой' for people. Using 'Какво' for a person can be seen as very rude.

The Nod
If someone answers your question with a head shake, they might actually be saying 'Yes'. Listen to their words carefully!

よくある質問
10 問Yes, if you are already pointing at the object, 'Какво е?' is a common shorthand.
'Това' is the correct written form. 'Т'ва' is how it sounds when spoken quickly.
Use 'Какво е онова?' (Kakvo e onova?).
You can still say 'Какво е това?', but 'Какъв е този шум?' (What is this noise?) is more specific.
Yes, it is perfectly neutral and polite enough for any public setting.
Because when you don't know what the object is, you can't know its gender, so Bulgarian defaults to the neuter.
No, for price ask 'Колко струва това?'.
The plural is 'Какви са тези?'.
Only in very old books, poems, or by very elderly people in villages.
