    • 1982, Петко Росен, През гори зелени:
      Изтракаха по калдъръма няколко конника. Минаха край нас и кривнаха към хана на Янаки чорбаджи. Агите се спогледаха и си думат: кой ще да е този, аджеба.
      Iztrakaha po kaldǎrǎma njakolko konnika. Minaha kraj nas i krivnaha kǎm hana na Janaki čorbadži. Agite se spogledaha i si dumat: koj šte da e tozi, adžeba.
      Several horsemen clopped out onto the cobbled path. They passed us by and wended towards the inn owned by the master Yanaki. The aghas exchanged glances and muttered: who might this one be, I wonder?
