A few words of Bulgarian

[E Wayles Browne]

Well, in fact the monastery on Mt. Athos is Vatopedi in Greek and English, but Vatoped in Bulgarian, see

Vatoped: not Vatopedi... Did someone read the ! as Latin letter I?

Bulgarian in Latin letters: you want ti, not ty, unlike Russian transliterated.

Dear all,

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?
"??????? ????. ?????? ?? ???????! (Cold here, off to Vatopedi!)"

Also: is the Bulgarian second person singular pronoun usually written as "ty" or "ti"?

Thanks!

R.
