I know it’s only tomorrow, but I can’t trust my memory – hope you don’t mind.
My daughter is also a Tatiana, though we don’t call her Tanya. It’s either Tattie or Tatianushka, Tatunka, Tatunki, Tatanka (buffalo in Sioux)…
Pop in again soon and have fun!
Hi Tanya!

In fact, my full name is Tanya(Tanya Kovacheva is written in my offical docs).But it is short from Tatiana.I like Tattie:)It sounds nice.

18 in my country is majority. But maybe in your country you’ll attain your majority at the age of 21, right?

Hi, rapacious_snake !
I am a new comer in this forum, like you. I still remember about my 1st friend from Bulgaria, we was in the same university. His name is Ivan. I we so surprised seeing he shook his head when he agreed with something. Can you tell us more about this movement ?
Hi gianglt
I’m curious. Was it a side-to-side movement or did he shake his head up and down?
Amy
Hi Yankee !
It was very interesting because it was side-to-side movement.
Bulgarian and People from Russia speak Russian, but they have different movement of their heads when they agree and disagree with something.

…and not to do what you don’t want to do
Hi great-aged Tanya! 
Have a nice time!
Hi Amy
As I know, in Bulgaria they use inverse ‘body language’ for ‘yes’ and ‘no’.
Tamara
Yes, in Bulgaria we use the opposite movements and this is very confusing.I don’t use them because I always forget which shaking means “yes” and which “not”.It is smth like the way the Englishmen drive.
Hi!
As I heard, there is an old legend about a Bulgarian monk who was demanded to change his religion on pain of death.
As sharp knife was set exactly against his throat, shaking his head meanе killing himself immediately.
And so, he just said ‘NO’, jerked up his head to prolong his life just a moment - and then… ‘nodded’.

:lol:
Keeping a car on the left side of the road can be unbelievably tricky if you’re used to driving on the right side of the road. We once had a vacation in Grand Cayman, which is a territory of the UK and so people drive on the left. We rented a car while we were there. No problem, we can handle it, we thought. After all, we were experienced drivers. But it was as if that darn car had a mind of its own! The car repeatedly wandered. There seemed no way to control it. We kept having to remind the car to move away from the right side of the road. But it simply didn’t want to pay any attention to us. 8) :lol:
Amy
Maybe we could start a thread about body signs! Isn’t it interesting how they can differ from culture to culture?
Talking about head movements – to say no, the Lebanese, for example, sometimes just tilt their chin or head upwards and/or raise their eyebrows. This had me a bit puzzled at the beginning, since I was only familiar with the left to right head shaking for ‘no’ and their movement looked more like a reversed nod!
Hi Conchita !
I think it will be very interesting and useful for us.(Maybe, a history related with action will be needed ?) Let start it soon. For example with one thing I see on TV : football players rub another player’s head. It’s unusual in our country, only olders do that with children when they want to praise them.
Hi Tanya,
Let be Happy Birth Day.
I am sorry,I saw forum on 15th July.May God bless you plenty of joy and happy movement.
