You are correct, but I would alter the translation a minor bit: "Its cold here, I'm off to Vatoped!
Happy holidays!

|An editor has asked me to check  a few words in Cyrillic that appear in a book soon to be published.  Most are Russian, but one is Bulgarian.
|
|Can someone who knows Bulgarian confirm that this looks OK?
|"СТУДЕНО ТУКА. ОТИВАМ ЗА ВАТОПЕД! (Cold here, off to Vatopedi!)"
|
|Also: is the Bulgarian second person singular pronoun usually written as "ty" or "ti"?
|
|Thanks!
