Morphological characteristics

  • three definite articles pertaining to the position of the object (see Macedonian grammar)
  • the third-person personal pronouns: тој, таа, тоа, тие (he, she, it, they)
  • imperfective verbs are typically derived from perfective verbs by means of the suffix –ва (e.g. зборва and боледва)
  • use of the oblique form for proper names

Typical Words
