Youth language without rude words
Understand informal reactions without attributing them to an entire generation.
New words
enjoyment
I like it
I am not into it
it turned out great
it is top-notch
it is really fresh
let us be honest
it is not my thing
I will pass
count me in
do not overthink it
do not fall for it
unwind after class
in our circle of friends
without unnecessary drama
the same vibe
The school club’s video
Viktor, a school club member
Как ти се струва новият клип?
What do you think of the new clip?
Кефи ме краят с рисунките.
I like the ending with the drawings.
Viktor, a school club member
И на мен. Но Нина каза, че не е нейното.
Me too. But Nina said it was not her thing.
Viktor, a school club member
Мислех, че ни отписва като екип.
I thought she was writing us off as a team.
По-скоро говори за вкуса си.
She is probably talking about her taste.
Viktor, a school club member
Добре. Утре ще снимаме още; да те броя ли?
All right. We are filming more tomorrow; shall I count you in?
Viktor, a school club member
Имаме и състезание след това.
We also have a competition afterwards.
За снимането ме брой; за състезанието съм пас.
Count me in for the filming; I will pass on the competition.
Viktor, a school club member
Ясно. Само че се притеснявам дали ще успеем.
Understood. It is just that I am worried whether we will manage it.
Viktor, a school club member
Не ми казвай «не се филмирай»; предпочитам да погледнем плана.
Do not tell me "do not overthink it"; I would rather look at the plan.
Viktor, a school club member
Добре, ще го разделим на малки задачи.
All right, we will divide it into small tasks.
Viktor, a school club member
Топ! И този път «топ» означава, че наистина съм доволен.
Top-notch! And this time "top-notch" means that I really am pleased.
Grammar
Youth speech changes and differs across friendship groups. "Не е моето"
expresses a personal preference, not a universal verdict. Understanding slang does not oblige you to use it. Some expressions sound supportive among friends but dismissive in another context.
Кефи ме как сте съчетали цветовете.
I like the way you have combined the colours.
Не е моето, но разбирам защо го харесваш.
It is not my thing, but I understand why you like it.
Examples
За разходката ме брой, за състезанието съм пас.
Count me in for the walk; I will pass on the competition.
Яко се получи, особено краят на клипа.
It turned out great, especially the end of the clip.
Не се филмирай, едно закъсняло съобщение не е непременно отказ.
Do not overthink it; one late reply does not necessarily mean a refusal.
На мен «не се филмирай» ми звучи пренебрежително, когато съм притеснен.
"Do not overthink it" sounds dismissive to me when I am worried.
Същият вайб усещам и в новия клип.
I get the same vibe from the new clip too.
Това е израз от нашата компания, не от всички младежи.
That is an expression from our circle, not from all young people.
Много е свежо, че сте включили и рисунки на ръка.
It is really fun that you have included hand-drawn pictures too.
В разговора с преподавателя ще кажа «харесва ми», не «топ е».
When talking to the teacher, I will say "I like it", not "it is top-notch".
