All Genders Review in Macedonian
This free Macedonian lesson teaches all genders review as part of the Grammar: Definite Articles course on OpaLingo. Learn how Macedonian expresses "the" by adding endings to nouns — masculine -от, feminine -ата, and neuter -то. книга becomes книгата, маж becomes мажот. Master all three genders with clear pattern drills. You'll learn 14 Macedonian words, including човекот (the man/person), книгата (the book), детето (the child), човек (man/person), книга (book), each with native audio pronunciation, interactive flashcards, and a quiz to check your progress. Macedonian is a South Slavic language written in the Cyrillic alphabet and spoken by about 1.5 million people, primarily in North Macedonia. It is fully phonetic — every letter makes a consistent sound — so once you learn the 31-letter alphabet you can read and pronounce any word.
