Браво!

браво

Well done!

Praising someone's achievement.

🌍

문화적 배경

At the end of a play, Bulgarians don't just clap; they often start a rhythmic, slow clap that speeds up, accompanied by shouts of 'Браво!'. Teachers often write 'Браво!' in red ink at the top of a test if the student got an A (6.00 in the Bulgarian system). Some older people believe too much praise can bring bad luck, so they might follow 'Браво' with a spitting sound 'Пу-пу' to ward off evil. Younger Bulgarians might use 'Евала' (Turkish origin) instead of 'Браво' to sound cooler or more 'street'.

🎯

The Sarcasm Shield

If you hear 'Браво' with a very long 'а' (Брааааво), it is almost certainly sarcastic.

💬

Don't be shy

Bulgarians love giving and receiving praise. Don't be afraid to use 'Браво' even for small things like a nice outfit.

Gender Trap

Never say 'Брава' to a woman. It doesn't mean 'good girl'; it means 'door handle'.
