"Сега идвам" (se-GA EED-vam), I am coming now, is the standard reply when someone calls for you. Like everywhere, "now" can be quite elastic.
The по- prefix means "more", so this is literally "more late". You will see по- everywhere: по-голямо (bigger), по-евтино (cheaper).
Same word as in "до утре", see you tomorrow. "Утре сутринта" (OO-treh soo-trin-TA) is tomorrow morning.
One word, literally "until evening".
"Пет минути", five minutes.
The form after a number: "два часа", two hours. Also used for o'clock.
