意思
Haste makes waste.
文化背景
Bulgarians have a deep respect for 'майсторлък' (craftsmanship). This proverb is often used to defend one's slow pace as a sign of quality rather than laziness. The use of 'кучка' (female dog) is very common in village life and is not considered offensive in this proverbial context, though it can be a slur in other contexts. In modern IT hubs like Sofia, this proverb is frequently used in 'Agile' environments to push back against unrealistic deadlines. Teachers in Bulgaria use this constantly to discourage students from finishing tests too early without reviewing their answers.
Use it to soften criticism
If you need to tell someone they are doing a bad job, using this proverb makes it sound like 'universal truth' rather than your personal opinion.
Don't change the words
This is a fixed idiom. If you say 'Бързото куче', people will understand you, but it will sound very 'foreign'.
