    It means "touch me" - imperfect imperative.
    The imperfect imperative has durative force, so it actually has the meaning of something like "keep touching me".
    If it was perfect imperative, it wouldn't be "dokosvai me", but "dokosni me".

    A bit confusing, ain't it?

    Ηi! My mum just said me that tomorrow morning they have to go to the borders to take a Bulgarian (she'll help my aunt in the fields) and she said me that I can go with them if I want. Of course I said yes. What I should say to make her feel more comfortable? I have something in my mind but I'm afraid that it's wrong. So typical, I cannot say something which is correct!

    Finally I didn't have problem. She is Turk who lives in Bulgaria so I said something in Turkish and a few words in Bulgarian!

    Добре дошъл в бандата, Владо.

    Well, the truth is that our language is extremely complicated. Sometimes even confusing.
    There were situatiations like thе one, when a whole bunch of linguists and philologists, including myself, argued over the question of what was the subject in the sentence "Pie mi se bira". Was it "bira" or there was none. Whole Bulgaria got involved in this discussion. lol
    We never agreed on this issue.

    Дaли имaме глaгoл, личeн свършен вид, непрeхoден рeфлeкcива дaтива тaнтум, т.е. "пие ми се", от което да следва, че "бира" е подлог, или е желателнa кoнструкция с празна подлoжна пoзиция? Още се спори.
    А аз съм на страната на онези, които твърдят, че "бира" не е никакъв подлог.
    Уж нещо толкова елементарно, а се оказа, че може да разбуни духовете.

    As you see, we have a really difficult and complicated language.

    maybe the russian vocabulary will help you in learning bulgarian. for the grammar - not sure as i've never studied russian. only know that thay have several cases that have disappeared from bulgarian long time ago.

    Well here turhanbg has made a pretty good explanation of the genders,I'll give u something more to learn next time,it's actually really late here so beginn with that

    yes guys i will tell u the genders in bulgarian as much as i can
    there r 3 genders in bulgarian .. masculine(myjki rod),feminine(jenski rod) and middle(sreden rod)..
    masculine words generally finish with an unvoiced letter..
    edin myj(man)
    edin vestnik(newspaper)
    edin avtobus(bus)
    feminine words generally finish with -a or -q(я)
    edna ulica(street)
    edna dyrjava(country)
    edna jena(woman)
    but there r some words they seem like masculine but they r feminine.i know that they had some letters at tha end of them in ancient bulgarian. but now they r not exist
    ednA esen(autumn)
    ednA pesen(song)
    ednA nosht(night)
    and the middle finish with -o or -e
    edno nebe(sky)
    edno momche(boy)
    edno syrce(heart)
