Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Petar: In Bulgarian, you can say that you don't like something in a straightforward way. You can almost always use не обичам and не харесвам interchangeably, when you talk about your preferences. But please don't use either when you are talking about presents.
