I love the logic in these comments. It could just as well have been: -North America is not a country -They want to.

Yep, 🇵🇱 have almost same pronunciation for nazdrave, just different writing: na zdrowie 🍻 Brat is exactly the same. Also have no idea how it's a slang.

[@Nantana2211]

Nina Dobrev probably didn't know any current Bulgarian slang words so they opted to go the save way and have her explain some important words for tourists?

[@JackHails]

I mean "brat" is kinda used like 'bro" or "dude" a lot too, so it is kinda slang.
