Reading all this it struck me how many Turkish words there are in slang Bulgarian. It shouldn't surprise me since the 500 years of Ottoman occupation but still. Of course there are equivalent Bulgarian words for all the Turkish borrowed with some exceptions.
Turkish words with no Bulgarian equivalent:
bg - tr - en

jutia - jutiu - iron
jurgan - ? - quilt? (it is thicker than a blanket, but of that sort)
kebap

Turkish words used in common Bulgarian language which have Bulgarian equivalents:

maraba - merhaba - hello - zdravey
bair - ? - hill - hulm
budala - ? - dumbie - glupak
aptal - ? - dumbie - glupak, tapak
epsi - hepsi - all - vsichko
shashardisvam - sasir - to surprise, to scare - iznenadvam, izplashvam
ama/ma - ama - but - no
aman -aman? -enough - stiga, basta
badeva - badeva - for nothing, pointless, za nishto
yavash-yavash - ? - slowly - edva-edva
hich - hic - none, nothing - nishto
komshia - komshu - neighbor - sased

also:

artik
yazik
ono-o (Turkish - ana - mother) in Bulgarian it is an exclamation for surprize, amazement
hey gidi

and probably more that I am forgeting right now.......

SwordsMaster,

If we use "yapı" for structure then "Yapıyı anladığıma şaşırdım."

Balkan Tourist,

Should one carefully dig out, many Bulgarian words will chime out of Turkish. There are borrowings from Hungarian, Romanian and even Russian in everyday language, not to mention the Arabic, Persian, Greek, Italian, Armenian... ones.

Saludos desde la bella y convulsionada Argentina!
Greetings from the beauty and conmotioned Argentina!

Soy Pancho, y si necesitás ayuda con español, yo puedo dártela.
Iam Pancho, and if you need help with spanish, i can give it to you.

El idioma español es bastante difícil para un angloparlante porque tiene muchas conjugaciones verbales.
The spanish language is quite difficult for english speakers because it have a lot of verb's conjugations.

Hablando de fútbol, por lo general en un encuentro de las ligas mayores en mi país es necesario utilizar un 10% de la capacidad del estadio con policías. Es el deporte nacional y las pasiones se desatan. De paso, mi equipo favorito es River Plate. Y sí, es cierto, latinoamérica y España tienen un nivel futbolístico muy superior a la media internacional. Es un hecho, nosotros tenemos 2 campeonatos mundiales, Brasil 4, Uruguay 3. Y los mejores jugadores del mundo son Argentinos o Brasileños.
Talking about soccer, its a common costume in matchs of the upper leagues to use a 10% of the stadium capacity filled with cops. it's the national sport and the passions are unleashed. By the way, my favorite team is River Plate. And yes, its true, Latin America and Spain have a higher footballistic level than the average of the world. It's a fact, we have 3 World Cups, Brazil 4, and Uruguay 3. The best players are Argentinians or Brazilians.

Well, this was a demonstration of the Argentinian spanish. Any doubt PMe.

Was a pleasure!

Edit: PD: Feel free to addme to your MSN.
