뜻
A standard informal greeting to one person.
문화적 배경
Eye contact is crucial when saying 'Здравей'. Looking away can be seen as suspicious or rude. The 'Bulgarian Nod' (up for no, side-to-side for yes) is often used alongside a greeting, which can confuse foreigners. In villages, it is polite to greet everyone you pass, even if you don't know them, but you would usually use the formal 'Здравейте' there. Handshakes are common between men when saying 'Здравей', while women often exchange light cheek kisses.
The 'Te' Rule
If you aren't sure if you should be formal, just add '-те' to make it 'Здравейте'. It's always safer to be too formal than too informal.
Smile!
Bulgarians might seem serious, but a 'Здравей' with a genuine smile breaks the ice instantly.

Not for Goodbyes
Never use 'Здравей' when leaving. It will confuse people and make them think you just arrived.
