Master Macedonian negation — не + verb for "I don't want / know / go", немам for "I don't have", нема for "there is no". Add никогаш не for "never" and flip every positive sentence you know. You'll learn 6 Macedonian words, including Никогаш не одам таму. (I never go there.), Никогаш не јадам месо. (I never eat meat.), Тој никогаш не работи. (He never works.), Таа никогаш не доцни. (She is never late.), Не сакам ниту кафе ниту чај. (I want neither coffee nor tea.), 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.
