Letter Д д and more verbs

Before we get into today's words, let me finish what I started yesterday.

At the end of the post, I asked you if you could figure out what "Imam brat" means. It means, "I have a brother." It may have been difficult to figure that out, though, because I forgot to mention two things about Bulgarian grammar:

1. The Bulgarian language does not have the word "a." It's implied. So, the Bulgarian sentence doesn't need "a," but the English sentence does.
2. Notice that I did not use the word "az" in the sentence "Imam brat." Why? It's not necessary to include the subject "I" in the sentence, because the verb's ending tells you what subject it refers to. I could do the same thing with this sentence: "Imash brat." That means, "You have a brother." "Ima brat" means he or she has a brother. "Imame brat" means we have a brother. No subject is needed.

Anyway, I hope you figured it out. If not, stick with it. Now, let's get to new stuff.

The next letter in the alphabet sounds like a "d." It looks like this:

Д д
Now, back to verbs.

I realized yesterday was probably pretty confusing, so I want to return to a-pattern verbs and give it another shot. Remember, once you learn the endings of a-pattern verbs, you can easily conjugate any a-pattern verb as long as you know the root of the verb.

Today's verb is obicham, which means to love. The root of obicham is "obich." Then, you add the appropriate endings (which are in bold below):

az obicham
ti obichash
toi, tya, to obicha
nie obichame
vie obichate
te obichat

Starting to make more sense now? Here the words below:
