Understanding Македонски Word Order in Sentences
In Македонски, just like in English, word order is important because it helps us understand who is doing what in a sentence. Let's learn how we can arrange words to make clear and correct sentences.
The basic word order in Македонски is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). This means that the person or thing doing the action comes first, then the action, and finally the person or thing receiving the action.
Examples
- Мајката готви вечера.
- Детето чита книга.
When we ask questions, we often change the order of words. In Македонски, question words like 'what', 'who', 'where' usually come at the beginning of the sentence.
Examples
- Каде оди Марко?
- Што правиш сега?
Adjectives describe nouns and usually come before the noun they describe in Македонски.
Examples
- Големото куче лае.
- Убавата цвете мириса убаво.
When we talk about when or where something happens, we can place time and place words at the beginning or end of the sentence.
Examples
- Утре ќе одам на училиште.
- Ќе одам на училиште утре.
Emphasizing Parts of a Sentence
Sometimes, we want to emphasize a part of the sentence. In Македонски, we can do this by changing the word order or adding special words.
Examples
- Вечерата мајката ја готви.
- Токму Марко го направи тоа.
