| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Petar: Note that откъде and накъде both have the original word for “where”, къде, but they are merged with the prepositions от meaning "from" and на meaning "of" respectively, and they get totally opposite meanings. Откъде is used to ask where someone is coming from, whereas накъде is used to ask about where someone is heading to. |
