Yes or No?
One cultural oddity that foreign visitors may find confusing at first is that Bulgarians shake their head from side to
side in a curved, almost wobbly motion to indicate 'yes' and gently jerk their heads up and backwards when they
want to say 'no'. To add to the confusion, if Bulgarians know they are addressing a foreigner, they may reverse
these gestures in an attempt to be helpful. If you are in any doubt about their real meaning, asking
'Da ili ne
?'
(Yes or no?) will soon set you straight.
