Usage notes

edit

There is no direct English correlate for this term тъп ъгъл (tǎp ǎgǎl), because it includes not only obtuse angles, but also reflex angles; it subsumes any angle over 90°. Likewise, there is no reverse translation into Bulgarian that specifically means only an "obtuse" or "reflex" angle.
