Too Expensive! in Macedonian
This free Macedonian lesson teaches too expensive! 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 Ова е скапо (This is expensive), Ова е евтино (This is cheap), Имате ли поевтино? (Do you have something cheaper?), Ми давате попуст? (Can you give me a discount?), 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.

How to practice too expensive! in Macedonian
Start by listening to the native audio for each word and repeating it out loud to build your pronunciation. Because Macedonian is written in Cyrillic and spelled phonetically, reading the words aloud is one of the fastest ways to remember them. This lesson then uses spaced flashcards and a short quiz to move the vocabulary into long-term memory — review it a few times across several days and you'll retain it far longer than from a single session. Every lesson on OpaLingo is free, works on mobile and desktop, and tracks your progress so you always know what to study next.
