意味
The act of settling a debt.
文化的背景
Tipping (бакшиш) is expected in restaurants, usually around 10%. You add it to the 'сметка' when you pay. The 'Birthday Rule': If it is your birthday, you are the one who 'плаща сметката' for your friends. They bring gifts, you bring the treat. Arguments over who pays the bill can be quite loud and performative, as everyone wants to show generosity. Using 'EasyPay' terminals to pay utility bills is a unique cultural staple. You'll see long queues of people 'плащащи сметки' at the start of the month.
The Definite Article
Always use 'сметката' (the bill) instead of 'сметка' (a bill) when you are at a restaurant. It sounds much more natural.
Don't say 'за'
Avoid saying 'плащам за сметката'. It's a common English-speaker mistake. Just 'плащам сметката'.

The 'Treat' Culture
If a Bulgarian says 'Аз черпя', don't try to pay the bill. It can be seen as refusing their hospitality.

よくある質問
4 問Not really. For a shirt, you would say 'Плащам ризата'. 'Сметка' is for services or a collection of items (like a meal or monthly utilities).
Use 'плащам' for the general idea of paying or if you are in the process. Use 'платя' for the specific moment you complete the payment.
Simply say 'Сметката, моля' (The bill, please) or 'Може ли сметката?' (May I have the bill?).
Say 'Може ли да платя с карта?' (Can I pay with a card?).
