Long time no write...well, the holiday's spirit certainly enchanted me.

Anyway here is another verb to practice both present and future tense, so you won't forget that.

to dry - sushi

Jas susham... the rest is for you

Berlyda and everybody else who learns here, how did you find the link about pronounciation that I gave to you? Is it helpful? Confusing?

another verb to practice:
bake - peche

Gazel Þermin.pleaseeeeeeeee

Газел Ермин, now I do not know what letter is the one before "e" in your surname or the first letter of your surname.

English forums don't support some Turkish characters we don't have a letter like this "þ"


so it's шeрмин

Some words and phrases:
SREKJNI PRAZNICI - Happy Hollidays
praznik - holiday
praznici - holidays
srekjen - happy (Since its an advedb it can often change its form because it can be adressed to masucline/feminine/middle and plural)
Lets see how it works:
srekjen - happy (Masculine)
srekjna - happy (Feminine)
srekjno - happy (Middle)
srekjni - happy (plural)

Question: Why this makes sense?


By the way HAPPY HOLLIDAYS - SREKJNI PRAZNICI

Sorry, i have been very busy lately, so i haven't looked at this thread for a while
The pronunciation post you did was very helpful

And the BONUS question for today:
1) The plural of "broj" which means "number" is "broevi", but for "voz" is "vozovi" and for "grad" - gradovi, for sport - sportovi, for klip - klipovi. Why is not "broovi", but it is "broevi"? I am sure you can give me a good explanation for this odd case.
To make pronunciation easier?

And another question, bonus one:
1) What is the second largest city by population in Macedonia?
I don't know...Skopje?

Jas susham
Ti sushish
Toj/Taa/Toa sushi
Nie sushime
Vie sushite
Tie sushiat

bake - peche
Jas pecham
Ti pechesh
Toj/Taa/Toa peche
Nie pecheme
Vie pechete
Tie pecheat

I think the 2nd biggest town is Tetovo or Bitola.

It is Bitola

I am glad the pronounciation link was helpful, instead of me explaining. It is rather better listen it to yourself and you'll have no problem what so ever.
The bonus question. Well it is kind of connected with the pronounciation... since broj ends on "oj" it changes to "evi" - broevi. Another such example is "kraj" - end
kraj - kraevi
This is very odd case, and not very common.

How were your holidays, well some holidays are yet to come.

Today I planned on a short, well not so short lesson about adjectives. And you all know what adjectives are.
Adjectives are words that help in description of a noun or a general situation.
for example: I stared at the blue sky. Here blue is an adjective.
So types of color are adjectives, feelings (happy, hungry, sad, confused) or others like: old, young, creative, ideal, etc...

Adjectives in Macedonian language are directly linked to the thing of which we are describing/talking about. It is not like in the English.
The adjectives in Macedonian language change its form when you talk about masculine, feminine, middle or plural.
Lets explain with example:
red - crven

1) For masculine:
- Kompjuterot e crven ---> The computer is red
*** Well we know that computer is a masculine, so its adjective will be masculine, i.e. take the form to describe the masculine noun.
2) For feminine:
- Tashnata e crvena ---> The bag is red
Tashna - bag, its a feminine noun so in order the adjective to take the feminine form, we'll add "a" on the end
3) Middle
- Kucheto e crveno ----> The dog is red
* I think now you get the point
4) Plural
- Jaknite se crveni ----> The jackets are red.

So let us sumarize it in a table:
red - crven
masc. --> crven
fem. ---> crvena
mid. ---> crveno
plu. ----> crveni

Lets try with more colours
blue - sin/a/o/i
white - bel/a/o/i
you can finish up the rest of the colours:

yellow - zholt
green - zelen
grey - siv
pink - rozev
black - crn
brown - kafeav

Question: What is the middle form of the adjective "purple" if its feminine form is "violetova"?

Enjoy in the colors, more on adjectives will follow

yellow - zholt/a/o/i
green - zelen/a/o/i
grey - siv /a/o/i
pink - rozev/a/o/i
black - crn/a/o/i
brown - kafeav/a/o/i

Question: What is the middle form of the adjective "purple" if its feminine form is "violetova"?
violetovo

More adjectives, sorry for not postig so long - university began once again.

star - old
masc. - star
fem. - stara
mid. - staro
plu. - stari

You can try the following:
mlad - young
ubav - beautiful/pretty/handsome
*note for feminine it is pretty, and for masculine handsome
brz - fast

You do them to see how are you doing so far, and then will go to more adjectives that have a little exception.
