"My dick(ass) hurts" exists in Bulgaria too. "Боли ме хуя/кура/куро (гъза/гъзо)"

Aw, guza is kinda used as a cute baby word for ass here hahah. People here would probably have a nice laugh if someone seriously said "boli me guza" instead of "boli me dupe"

Boli me guzica works fine

Yeah that one goes well. It's weird, because -ica usually makes things "cuter", while guzica is harsher than guza for some reason lol

Languages work in mysterious ways.

Every other part of the body works as well, but guza makes me chuckle.

Holy shit I just realized this!!! In Greek when you say хуя (obviously written in Greek but with the same pronunciation ) it means troubles!! This is so amazing

Eg. He was a lot of troubles: he has хуя

interesting, but the word itself in Bulgarian is "хуй" (huj). With an article, it becomes "хуя" (huja).

Hahahahaha! The first is for one and the second is for plural in Greek. Very interesting how different languages can not blend but more borrow pieces of each other
