Well, to feel Like something you need to be that something

@@azanuan9185 to feel like a plastic bag and to think you are one are very very different to one another

I'm Bulgarian, and saying I'm feeling like plastic bag... you need to relate to the plastic bag in order to say it. And saying this as Bulgarian, I think what is told in this video is simple exaggeration. I doubt anyone would accept it Literally. But relating to something, is relating to being THAT something. You can't relate to plastic bag unless you understand what is like to BE a plastic bag.

@@azanuan9185 not when you are speaking in metaphors

Yes.

As someone who has no idea what that means, could you explain?

@@savoytruffles well, to explain it as simple as possible vazov (Ivan Vazov) is pretty much the most important Bulgarian poet who ever lived, who wrote great literature. Azis is a chalga/pop folk singer who is the exact opposite of that but still in a fairly positive way. For more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalga en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Vazov

I'm romanian and everyone here loves Bulgaria. I went to Veliko Tarnovo when I visited for the first time and it was such a beautiful city, really surpassed my expectations of what the country would be like. the people were always really nice and I only had positive experiences here. also, you might already know this but your seaside is like 10000 times more beautiful and developed than ours

That should be universal law, English for tourists, native if u stay.

@Wemple whatever. It's just my thought

It really is. You just need to know what syllable to stress (in 90% of the cases it's the same one, so it doesn't matter), and how to sound out each letter, and you're mostly fine. But be careful, because you don't know /what/ you're saying.

@@kiddo6393 - yeah, those Eastern European scriptures are often more 'crafted' than the ones from antiquity. With Georgian (at least the most modern one they had like 3 different alphabets through the ages) it's the same: very useful, unambiguous scripture.

@@kiddo6393 heh, in Bulgarian stress is all over the place

Who doesn't appreciate phonetic spelling? I wouldn't mind having a spelling reform. I just don't believe it'll ever happen. Too many boomers would get there nuts twisted over it.

@@vimtheprotogen2855 - I even might be boomy here because as a linguist and a German, I can appreciate something we call "schematic consistency" (so you try not to change roots too much ... but even that would help you here, namely with stuff like "life, lives" :D).

Thankfully English isn't that common in Japan, it exists though more like a stylistic choice to bring in customers than anything else; same with how Japanese and Chinese restaurants in America using kanji and kana as a stylistic choice for the theme of their restaurant.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I lived in the US for a while,it was agonizing because everyone at my work and people I thought were friends were really nice to me but would talk mad shit behind my back lmao. I prefer my Bulgarian countrymen's direct attitude.I've had a fistfight with a guy and then we got mad drunk together and became good friends.

I feel the EXACT way. I thought I was getting on well and was getting to be somewhat good friends with a coworker at my job. Then one Friday another coworker came up to me, "Hey Kevin, we are all chipping in to get "my friend" a wedding gift for his Wedding tomorrow, would you like to chip in?" Uhh. He's getting married TOMORROW? I didn't even have the slightest clue. He never mentioned he had a girlfriend to me, let alone getting MARRIED THIS WEEK. 100% of any concept of any closeness or friendship developing was 100% in my head. I chipped in money for the group wedding gift, but I was devastated. I mostly just stopping talking to him, and only did basic required work interactions from then on.

I like Germany, ppl are more direct here aswell

@@666Shinedown God, americans are insufferable with the fake niceness. Cashiers forcing smiles, supermarket greeters, RANDOM STRANGER approaching and starting conversations as if we've known each other for decades. There's a line between being courteous and forcing niceness and most of the nation seems to have no awareness of it...

Life in the US would be so much easier if we could just be honest. We just spend all day gaslighting each other and wondering why no one has any social skills at all. I only know of a small handful of people who really like me and everyone else is an absolute fucking mystery. We smile when we run into each other, having good conversations, and joke around playfully, but they never want to hang out on purpose. It's one thing to know people dislike you, but something else entirely to spend you life always questioning if you're a burden to the people who probably do like you.

Foreigners hear chalga and go "oh so deep and exotic and Bulgarian..." It's neither. Vazov would politely ask Azis to stop if he could.

Simply curious Was it always a cliché, or is it a younger generation thing to stop resenting each other in the balkans ?

@@corentincaspers8229 i don’t think it is a younger generation thing, it’s only that nationalism has receded these past 7 decades in the peninsula and it just happens to coincide with the younger generation. but i don’t believe either it is a cliche, cuz um STUFF happened here. it does not matter if they happened in the 1910s, 1920s, 1940s, 1990s, now or 500 years ago, it still has a significant effect on people’s mentality. my grandma still despises the burgarians, i don’t but i haven’t witnessed the brutality and violence between nations. sorry for the long response but, you know, touchy subject..

@@corentincaspers8229 So basically we're done with this hateful bullshit. Thankfully some younger generations have adapted to a friendlier approach instead of, oh idk going full on ballistic at the mere mention of a Bulgarian existing in let's say Greece. What happens is, in the balkans have a complicated history of war and other nations seeking refuge from eachother, and you'll commonly find elders that lived through periods of poverty literally using each others' ethnicity as a cuss word, because, in their eyes, Bulgarians took their jobs, or houses, or it's they're fault for the economy going downhill (spoiler: it's not). I never understood that. I've seen kids using 'bulgarian' and 'Albanian' as insults despite having friends of said ethnicity. That's when you know they picked it up from elders, or parents. There has been an increase in younger people trying to fix the whole racism thing though so hopefully we'll get over it in the near future, cause it really fucking sucks.

read that was "warmest balkan conjugations"

It's fascinating honestly my very bulgarian aunt moved to Germany a couple of years ago and said it's quite isolating and lonely until you get used to it because 'Germans tend to keep to themselves and not speak with their neighbors' which was weird hearing, having a close German friend who's very open and kind so I guess it really does depend on the person

@@user-cw3lx8uj6f - ouch, but interesting! The way I've heard it, people in the countryside tend to be more open, but that's probably the case everywhere. Also certain federal lands are at least *said* to be more open-hearted or more demure or at least unsentimental respectively, so it'd be interesting to know in which general area she moved for me to feed my preconceptions about my fellow people. :P To be honest though, it could also be that the folks in her immediate area were simply insecure or outright assholes because she was a foreigner. :/

@@thespicyfaery8736 - noice, do you speak both languages? Have you compared people's mentalities here and there? That'd be interesting. :)

@@telecorpse1957 Slavic languages don't have "the" or "a", except occasionally as very specific qualifiers, more analogous to "that" and "one" in English, so the omission and misuse of them is typically from a Slavic person.
