Notes:

* Macedonian makes a distinction between singular you and plural you, and, as with many European languages, the plural is used to show respect to someone who you don't know/haven't met, i.e. when you want to be polite. Ex., Како си? = Second person singular/The informal way; Како сте? = Second person plural/The formal, polite way.

* The stress of each word is placed on the antepenultimate (third to last) syllable, with few exceptions(international words, borrowings mainly)

For example, добрoдојдовте is pronounced dobrodóidofte; здраво is pronounced zdravo.
