Basic Questions in Macedonian
This free Macedonian lesson teaches basic questions as part of the Greetings & Basics course on OpaLingo. Master everyday Macedonian phrases — greetings like добро утро, polite expressions, question words, and farewells. Start and close every conversation with confidence from day one. You'll learn 5 Macedonian words, including Како се викаш? (What's your name?), Од каде си? (Where are you from?), Мило ми е (Nice to meet you), Да (Yes), Не (No), each with native audio pronunciation, interactive flashcards, and a quiz to check your progress. Macedonian belongs to the South Slavic language family and is the official language of North Macedonia, with about 1.5 million speakers. Because it is written phonetically in a 31-letter Cyrillic alphabet, every word is pronounced exactly as it is spelled — a big head start for new learners.

How to practice basic questions in Macedonian

The flashcard and quiz stages that follow are designed for spaced repetition, so revisiting this lesson a few times across the week beats one long session.
