Feminine Plurals in Macedonian
This free Macedonian lesson teaches feminine plurals as part of the Plural Nouns course on OpaLingo. Learn Macedonian plural noun patterns — masculine -ови/-и, feminine -и, neuter -а/-иња — plus classic irregulars. Go from столче to столчиња and master the definite plural with -ите/-та. You'll learn 8 Macedonian words, including книга → книги (book → books), жена → жени (woman → women), сестра → сестри (sister → sisters), куќа → куќи (house → houses), Имам многу книги. (I have many books.), 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.

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.
