Macedonian phrases
We are going to start with the most commonly used phrases when you meet someone (I borrowed this from the greetings phrases from phrasebase and I added some myself).

I tried to make the latin transcriptions as good as possible, so for phonemes that don't have a letter to represent them I improvised.

so, sh=ш
ch=ч
kj=ќ
gj=ѓ
etc

In order to know how to pronounce them exactly, check out
the macedonian alphabet(azbuka) thread.

some more useful phrases:



You're welcome. = Нема зошто. [nema zoshto]


Sorry. = Извини/Извинете. [izvini-informal, izvinete-formal]


I don't understand. = Не разбирам. [ne razbiram]


Where's the toilet? = Каде е тоалетот? [kade e toaletot]


Cheers! = На здравје! [na zdravje]


Do you speak English? = Зборувате ли англиски? [zboruvate li angliski]


Again, Macedonian is completely phonetic, so pronounce exactly as you read.

For exact pronounciation, checkout the Macedonian alphabet thread or you can check out this webpage: http://macedoniadirect.com/azbuka.htm

Word Stress - IMPORTANT

If you have read this far, you'll probably want to know on which syllable the stress falls.

Well, aren't you lucky, in Macedonian the stress is always on the ante-penultimate syllable (or the third syllable from the end).
If the word consists of only two syllables, then the stress is on the last counting from the end.


Here are some examples:

5- syllable word: Ма-ке-до-ни-ја - Macedonia

4- syllable word: Ал-ба-ни-ја - Albania

3- syllable word: Ев-ро-па - Europe

2- syllable word: То-го - Togo

1- syllable word: Рим - Rome

So...
Европа - Évropa

Would you explain me how do you divide the word Европа into syllabes? Maybe Е-вро-па? This apply for every words?
Hvala lepa.

Европа - Évropa -> yes, this is correct.

In words with three or more syllables, the stress is always on the third syllable from the end, so -> Ев-ро-па

The syllabes for Европа are three, but not Е-вро-па. It's Ев-ро-па.

?
I have a question. Before studying Macedonian I studied Russian. I Russian o is pronounced a when unstressed. In Macedonian is o ever Pronounced ah.

Sorry it's just my mind automatically thinks Russian Cyrillic and I'm having to start over with Azbuka.
