доцни

Macedonian

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈdɔt͡sni]

Verb

доцни • (docni) third-singular present, impf (perfective задоцни)

1. (intransitive) to be late, arrive late
2. (transitive, causative, colloquial) to cause someone to be late

Usage notes

• This verb cannot be used to refer to the time in general, e.g. to say that it's late because it's almost midnight (in that case, one would say "доцна е"). It can only be used to refer to things happening later than expected. Primarily, however, it is used only for people turning up late or starting something late.
