Bedeutung
Being very obvious or noticeable.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Bulgarian culture, bright colors in traditional clothing (nosia) were a sign of health and fertility. However, in modern urban life, 'бия на очи' can sometimes be a critique of someone being 'parvenu' or showing off too much wealth. Across the Balkans, there is a shared concept of the 'Evil Eye'. Sometimes, people avoid 'biene na ochi' (standing out) to avoid bad luck or jealousy from others. On Bulgarian social media, 'бия на очи' is often used to describe 'clout chasing' or using too many filters to get attention.
