| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Petar: If you want to answer negatively but without being too direct, you can add the word много after the verb. This will mean "I don't really...." So if you want to say "I don't really like cars," it will be Не харесвам много коли. |
