Asking Prices – Macedonian Lesson

Asking Prices in Macedonian
This free Macedonian lesson teaches asking prices as part of the Market & Bargaining course on OpaLingo. Navigate the пазар (market) — ask prices, say something is too expensive, negotiate a discount, and pay correctly. Builds on numbers and shopping vocabulary. You'll learn 4 Macedonian words, including Колку чини? (How much does it cost?), Колку е? (How much is it?), пазар (market / bazaar), Ова чини... (This costs...), each with native audio pronunciation, interactive flashcards, and a quiz to check your progress. The Macedonian language — South Slavic, written in Cyrillic, and spoken by around 1.5 million people centred on North Macedonia — is one of the easier languages to read aloud: its 31-letter alphabet is fully phonetic, so each letter keeps the same sound in every word.

How to practice asking prices in Macedonian
Work through the lesson in three passes: first listen to the native audio and repeat each word aloud, then test yourself with the flashcards, and finish with the quiz to confirm what stuck. Because Macedonian is spelled exactly as it sounds, reading the Cyrillic out loud doubles as pronunciation practice. Short, repeated reviews over several days are far more effective than a single long session — and since every OpaLingo lesson is free and tracks your progress on any device, picking up where you left off takes seconds.
