Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Petar: In Bulgarian, you can use the verbs харесвам which means "to like" and обичам meaning "to love" interchangeably, when you want to express that you like something. For example, you can hear someone expressing their musical taste like this - Харесвам джаз музика. meaning "I like jazz music." or Обичам джаз музика., meaning "I love jazz music."
