Anglichanin (англичанин)

‘English’ as in the nationality. The word for English as the language is different: Angliski (Английски) but both words come from 'England' which is Anglia (англия) – Great Britain is Velikobritania (Великобритания). Anglichanin is useful as a get out for when people come up to you on the street and start asking you for something – or when your limited vocabulary lets you down and you have to back out of a conversation. Technically, it should be: Az sum anglichanin (Аз съм англичанин) ‘I am English’ but I find that you can replace the ‘I am’ with an apologetic little shrug instead.
