Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Petar: When Bulgarians talk about time in general, we often ask about "how much" колко, instead of "what" какво. For instance, От колко започва филма? What time does the movie start? or От колко време чакаш?, literally meaning "From what time have you been waiting?"
