I almost forgot galaxy turtle has a second channel to post his other stuffs
So did he
And me . Iv been subscribed to turtle man for a year or 2 now realised I was subscribed to this second one but have missed the content. Beers for all. I have some catch up to do
This is the first time I've seen this channel
"It took me a few decades to work out, that I am not British. I am Balkan."
- Welcome home брате.
Reject Westerners
Embrace Balkan
"Брате" probably means "brother", I choose to believe it means "brat" in this context
THE FUCK ARE THOSE MOON RUNES
so cool! my native language is romanian and i instantly recognised that word as meaning brother. in romanian it's "frate", close enough :)
Learning a foreign language by just going to the country and trying to survive always makes for interesting stories. Welcome back man! :)
Tbh it's the most effective way to learn a language. You have to adapt.

Katy Perry in Bulgaria: “Are you a plastic bag?”
Well, to feel Like something you need to be that something
@@azanuan9185 to feel like a plastic bag and to think you are one are very very different to one another
I'm Bulgarian, and saying I'm feeling like plastic bag... you need to relate to the plastic bag in order to say it. And saying this as Bulgarian, I think what is told in this video is simple exaggeration. I doubt anyone would accept it Literally. But relating to something, is relating to being THAT something. You can't relate to plastic bag unless you understand what is like to BE a plastic bag.
@@azanuan9185 not when you are speaking in metaphors
Yes.
why the fuck did i start tearing up when he said "I am Balkan". I'm not used to taking pride in that but oh boy.. :((

Because deep down inside every Balkan person knows that they are a special place and we need to accept them and appreciate them more.

As someone who has no idea what that means, could you explain?
@@savoytruffles well, to explain it as simple as possible vazov (Ivan Vazov) is pretty much the most important Bulgarian poet who ever lived, who wrote great literature.

Went to bulgaria last summer after more or less throwing a dart at the european map and damn, what a beautiful country! Couldn't really go to the populated areas that much due to the whole covid thing, but I'm definitely coming back once I'm vaccinated.
Your traditional music is very beautiful :)
I'm romanian and everyone here loves Bulgaria. I went to Veliko Tarnovo when I visited for the first time and it was such a beautiful city, really surpassed my expectations of what the country would be like. the people were always really nice and I only had positive experiences here. also, you might already know this but your seaside is like 10000 times more beautiful and developed than ours
I am half bulgarian but my mom never taught me the language so now I want to learn it myself… I hope I can find a teacher because slavic languages are very hard to learn
@@thespicyfaery8736 it's not really worth learning unless you're doing it for yourself, or to live there.

That should be universal law, English for tourists, native if u stay.
@Wemple whatever. It's just my thought
An Englishman who can appreciate phonetic spelling. This must be a dream.
Anyway, wonderful video so far, man!
It really is. You just need to know what syllable to stress (in 90% of the cases it's the same one, so it doesn't matter), and how to sound out each letter, and you're mostly fine. But be careful, because you don't know /what/ you're saying.
@@kiddo6393 - yeah, those Eastern European scriptures are often more 'crafted' than the ones from antiquity. With Georgian (at least the most modern one they had like 3 different alphabets through the ages) it's the same: very useful, unambiguous scripture.
@@kiddo6393 heh, in Bulgarian stress is all over the place
Who doesn't appreciate phonetic spelling? I wouldn't mind having a spelling reform. I just don't believe it'll ever happen. Too many boomers would get there nuts twisted over it.
@@vimtheprotogen2855 - I even might be boomy here because as a linguist and a German, I can appreciate something we call "schematic consistency" (so you try not to change roots too much ... but even that would help you here, namely with stuff like "life, lives" :D).
learning a language and then having the cashier respond back to you in perfect English is the curse of learning a language as a native English speaker...
Thankfully English isn't that common in Japan, it exists though more like a stylistic choice to bring in customers than anything else; same with how Japanese and Chinese restaurants in America using kanji and kana as a stylistic choice for the theme of their restaurant.
worst is when you aren't even a native english speaker but they still respond in english to you :') i've heard of people that don't even speak english where this happened, and thats even more tragic lol

As a bulgatin. Hi
@@shelldon900 hello
I really appreciate cultures that dispense with all of this needless "pretend niceness". Being polite is good and all, but it sucks to find out that the person you thought you were getting on with was just humouring you, and didn't actually care about the conversation. Maybe it's just my social ineptitude speaking, but I could definitely do with some more directness and honesty in society.
I lived in the US for a while,it was agonizing because everyone at my work and people I thought were friends were really nice to me but would talk mad shit behind my back lmao.
I prefer my Bulgarian countrymen's direct attitude.I've had a fistfight with a guy and then we got mad drunk together and became good friends.
I feel the EXACT way. I thought I was getting on well and was getting to be somewhat good friends with a coworker at my job. Then one Friday another coworker came up to me, "Hey Kevin, we are all chipping in to get "my friend" a wedding gift for his Wedding tomorrow, would you like to chip in?" Uhh. He's getting married TOMORROW? I didn't even have the slightest clue. He never mentioned he had a girlfriend to me, let alone getting MARRIED THIS WEEK. 100% of any concept of any closeness or friendship developing was 100% in my head. I chipped in money for the group wedding gift, but I was devastated. I mostly just stopping talking to him, and only did basic required work interactions from then on.
I like Germany, ppl are more direct here aswell
@@666Shinedown God, americans are insufferable with the fake niceness. Cashiers forcing smiles, supermarket greeters, RANDOM STRANGER approaching and starting conversations as if we've known each other for decades. There's a line between being courteous and forcing niceness and most of the nation seems to have no awareness of it...
Life in the US would be so much easier if we could just be honest. We just spend all day gaslighting each other and wondering why no one has any social skills at all. I only know of a small handful of people who really like me and everyone else is an absolute fucking mystery. We smile when we run into each other, having good conversations, and joke around playfully, but they never want to hang out on purpose. It's one thing to know people dislike you, but something else entirely to spend you life always questioning if you're a burden to the people who probably do like you.
sending my warmest balkan congratulations for spending some time to learn about this neglected part of europe from greece 🇬🇷
yes, yes one balkaner didn’t immediately curse another one. how bizarre…
Simply curious
Was it always a cliché, or is it a younger generation thing to stop resenting each other in the balkans ?
@@corentincaspers8229 i don’t think it is a younger generation thing, it’s only that nationalism has receded these past 7 decades in the peninsula and it just happens to coincide with the younger generation. but i don’t believe either it is a cliche, cuz um STUFF happened here. it does not matter if they happened in the 1910s, 1920s, 1940s, 1990s, now or 500 years ago, it still has a significant effect on people’s mentality. my grandma still despises the burgarians, i don’t but i haven’t witnessed the brutality and violence between nations.
sorry for the long response but, you know, touchy subject..
@@corentincaspers8229 So basically we're done with this hateful bullshit. Thankfully some younger generations have adapted to a friendlier approach instead of, oh idk going full on ballistic at the mere mention of a Bulgarian existing in let's say Greece. What happens is, in the balkans have a complicated history of war and other nations seeking refuge from eachother, and you'll commonly find elders that lived through periods of poverty literally using each others' ethnicity as a cuss word, because, in their eyes, Bulgarians took their jobs, or houses, or it's they're fault for the economy going downhill (spoiler: it's not). I never understood that. I've seen kids using 'bulgarian' and 'Albanian' as insults despite having friends of said ethnicity. That's when you know they picked it up from elders, or parents. There has been an increase in younger people trying to fix the whole racism thing though so hopefully we'll get over it in the near future, cause it really fucking sucks.
read that was "warmest balkan conjugations"
As someone from Hungary, hearing a British man proudly declare that he would rather be Balkan made me audibly laugh. Such a weird concept.

I worked with a Bulgarian fella once, sadly technology has ruined even the simplest of misunderstandings. We would just set a mobile phone with google translate between us and it would act as the interpretor. Kinda like a Babel Fish from Hitchhikers guide. I did learn "opa!" which I tend to use all the time now.
"From Vazov to Azis" incredible
Foreigners hear chalga and go "oh so deep and exotic and Bulgarian..." It's neither. Vazov would politely ask Azis to stop if he could.
As a Bulgarian, I'd like to wholeheartedly thank you for this video. Your words made me feel full spectrum of emotions. The Balkans are truly a spiritual and unique place, and I do hope that more natives that went to live/study abroad, after the Soviet fall, will appreciate them for what they are more and come back, so they can bring new knowledge and experience and the region can grow for the better. It is rare to hear such beautiful words for my country, especially from somebody born outside of the region. Glad that you feel like home here. From the bottom of my heart and soul... welcome, братко.
You made me cry. Bulgarians always tend to see the bad side of everything and we think that’s the way other people see us. But this is beautiful. Thank you
I'm Welsh, my best friend is Bulgaria and we met in uni in England. Sharing our cultures with eachother was honestly amazing. She taught me how to say weed in Bulgarian, I taught her how to say jellyfish and microwave in Welsh.
I now insult my partner in Bulgarian because it sounds better. xD.
We lived together for a year too and I would sometimes speak Welsh and she Bulgarian and we would understand eachother whilst not actually knowing what the other said. Yeah, absolute fun 🤣
It's really interesting how leaving such an over-formalized culture like the British sounds borderline relieving the way Ex puts it. People from such countries often call our German manners rude, but to me, it really depends on the region here (and person, obviously).
It's fascinating honestly my very bulgarian aunt moved to Germany a couple of years ago and said it's quite isolating and lonely until you get used to it because 'Germans tend to keep to themselves and not speak with their neighbors' which was weird hearing, having a close German friend who's very open and kind so I guess it really does depend on the person
@@user-cw3lx8uj6f - ouch, but interesting! The way I've heard it, people in the countryside tend to be more open, but that's probably the case everywhere. Also certain federal lands are at least *said* to be more open-hearted or more demure or at least unsentimental respectively, so it'd be interesting to know in which general area she moved for me to feed my preconceptions about my fellow people. :P To be honest though, it could also be that the folks in her immediate area were simply insecure or outright assholes because she was a foreigner. :/
I’m half bulgarian and german ehe
@@thespicyfaery8736 - noice, do you speak both languages? Have you compared people's mentalities here and there? That'd be interesting. :)
In my native language American English I am blunt with speaking so I oftentimes have to be careful what I say as I might just come off as rude and unemotional.
As a Serb, I understood all the things you said in bulgarian. All Slav languages are difficult for foreigners to learn so kudos for trying!
Also, I love that you feel like you're from Balkan/Bulgaria
As a half Bulgarian learning the language this video was perfect! Spot on about the culture, so cool that you live there
I laughed out loud at the doctors hi-fiving because that is the most Bulgarian thing ever
tip for slavic grammer everything that ends with an "a" is female (or male and female but very very rare) everything that ends with an "e" is middle gender and everything that ends with an any other letter is male its that simple
With the exception of oan words, in which case it's often nueter regardless of the ending. At least that's what my Russian Russian teacher taught me.
But how important is knowing gendered words? Why do they exist? In Hungary we don't even define gender when discussing an individual. As in, we have no "he" or "her". Its just a non plural "they"
@@zephyrna6249 In Bulgaria they just happen to be a core element of the language. Once you know the structure of the Bulgarian language, you find the gendered words helpful in putting some order in the vast vocabulary.

Me and my friend went to Bulgaria, climbed up a beautiful mountain when it started raining. As if touched by magic black and yellow salamanders started to appear everywhere, as if they came from within the old mountain. It was a sight of such intense beauty. When we in the evening went into town, and got into conversation about it one Bulgarian said with in his eyes a sparkle of pride, being adored by our amazement with what's basically his backyard and deep-rooted understanding of where he lived looked over at where the mountain was, not visible by being seen but being seen because of the lack of stars in the sky in the shape of a mountain. He looked and smiled, turned back at us and said with a playful seriousness:
_"Ah yes, because of the rain."_
This man was listening to a technoset by Gabriella Vergilov and he brought his dog, his wife and little daughter. The athmosphere was peaceful and lifely, calm but energetic.
I felt completely at peace, at ease, at home.

Thank you. Thank you so much for your kind words with which you have described my homeland.
As a student looking at the political situation we have, I was really looking forewared on getting out of here to a more civilaised country such as Britain. And I just find it mind boggling when I see a foreigner from such a developed country to show interest in the customs and culture of our not so well known land, and to go as far as to say that he feels Balkan here. (you can add the fact that your videos are a huge inspiration and comfort for me, you just touched my heart whit this one.)
I Am still determined to study abroad, but now if asked about my roots, I will proudly look the other person in the eye while answering.
Поздрави от България! Не забравяй да даваш рибки на котката!
That settles it, I'm traveling to Bulgaria. Also, I don't know if you're going to ever see this comment I just want to say I listened to your podcast "Catastrotivity" on sound cloud. I listened to all 6 parts of it, I love you man, you've given me a certain push or inspiration to pursue creating something fucking cool. I discovered your channel not so long ago but you've become a part of my daily routine now. I'm from India, and we're still going through the fucking you-know-what flu and we're still under lockdown. You made my lockdown less suicidal and more eh let's fall in love. Thank you so much
As a Bulgarian gal this video filled me with joy. It was really wholesome, thank you :)
When you said you understood you weren't British but Balkan, I like to hear stories like that from other people because I also have a somewhat confused relationship with nationality and I'm currently living as an expatriate in Scotland and still figuring it all out. Thank you for your channel.
Yeah but did you ever figure out what the ceremonial dagger is used for
Cutting onions probably
As a turkish person a bible and a ceremonial dagger is the most un-turkish thing that i can think of
This video made me feel so happy, I'm so glad that you loved Bulgaria.
I expected a few language learning anecdotes, but it was honestly kind of touching. I'm not Bulgarian - Polish born and raised - and I haven't even been to the Balkans yet, but still, I'm glad that you found your place there. Slavic countries and their culture are hardly getting any positive recognition in Western media, so thank you for expressing your adoration to Bulgaria in this and other videos. When travel is safe again, I recommend visiting Poland, even briefly. It doesn't have that free-spirited southern vibe - and our language is even harder than Bulgarian, haha - but I believe you'll find something to your liking here. Have a nice day, Turtle Man! :D
I just spent the whole day watching all of exub1a’s videos for the billionth time and just noticed this new video - I am incredibly happy.
It's interesting for me, since there's this mindset implanted in every Russian that everywhere where the language is remotely similar to Russian, it's just russians with different hats living there.
And your perspective of Bulgaria makes it look like something with a culture of its own, thought of which really didn't cross my mind before
Considering Cyrillic was created in Bulgaria, we usually view Russians the same way hahah
As a Bulgarian, I cannot even describe how happy I am to see someone taking such deep interest in our country! Сърдечно благодаря за това видео и за цялата Ви любов към страната ни! Вие сте един истински българин! Much love, dear Exurb1a, and keep up the amazing work! ❤️

Being a native bulgarian speaker makes it so that it's way easier to learn other languages since you started from the hard stuff. Western European languages are relatively easy to learn for most of us (at least as far as I've seen/heard)

Not so much two faced, but rather not wishing to unnecessarily cause offence. We like to keep our powder dry untill we can let somebody have it with both barrels - if and when the need ( opportunity?) arises.
Fam we are simultaneously the kindest and rudest people on the planet, all of us are bipolar
@@paulross225 That's not a bad mindset, to be honest, although I'm not a fan. I should also say that in my opinion, we French tend to not be friendly simply because we can't even be fucked to be that polite, which usually leaves both parties about as grumpy as they were before their interaction - so I'm not just taking shots at you guys and smugly say we got social interactions right ourselves
@@yomo9781 I've experienced both good and bad, but for the good I'm still amazed when cashiers are cheerful with me and wish me a lovely day and whatnot, that shit's amazing to me. Since I have no idea how to process friendliness from strangers I usually just throw smoke bombs and run the fuck out
I'm Bulgarian and it's so sweet that he is learning my language AND culture. Entertaining, heart-warming, his confession made me tear up
Best of luck to anyone struggling at learning something new. It is never easy but I promise the fulfillment is worth it.
Lots of love ❤
i am a croat and understood most of what you said in bulgarian. hearing you say you love the balkans was also nice to hear
When you mentioned what you said to the cashier, I swear to god I got heart palpitations, like that amount of second hand embarrassment is actually fatal
Imagine if Exurb1a worked at a bureau of tourism of something
Of Arstozka? (Papers, Please!)
He gets demonitized a lot so maybe lol
God your videos always seem to come out right when you need one most
Thanks for giving me a title for for "Valya Balkanska : Izlel je Delyo haydutin" ... now I can finally search for "that cool song from Cosmos".
You made me cry at the end, such a powerful message. I'm so happy you're well here and found yourself!
Beep boop I was very impressed with how connected and deep one can be in front of differences in being human, thanks for the mesmerizing video or, better stated, story told in a circle of friends.
Conversation in the internet seems awkward after a lot of videos stating how we are mostly 2nd hand viewers, but not that it would make much sense for you, the reader, whoever you are
Good shit turtle man. Love the better upload times
Been a fan for a while and was always surprised when you’d randomly cuss out in Bulgarian or show irl shots of Bulgaria. Thank you for finally explaining your origin!
“Ти прост ли си бе” had me dying I can just imagine the situation
Thank you for all the stories.
Sometimes they make me cry other times I smile but I always feel alive.
This is what I needed. Thank you for uploading.
Bulgarian singing warms my soul
You always make my day so much better when you upload, thank you for all the work you put into your videos!
Hell yeah! Learning about / learning languages will always be my favorite thing in the world, and is always an insane experience from beginning to end. Yes there will be times you mess up, but there will always be a next 'eureka' moment when you realize how far you came in learning the language.
Who knows where I'll be with Nivaclé this time next year.
Glad to see you back
Absolutely exquisite mate 👍
thank you for this video, and describing the beautiful humility of language learning that made me start my own journey :)
This felt like some insanely heartfelt storytelling. One of your most touching videos.
