Usage notes

edit
  • Most Macedonians shorten it to just "осумдесе́ттите" (the eighties). "Го́дини" is optional here but when it is used, it must be in the plural.
  • Instead of saying "о́ва списа́ние", (this magazine) you can simply shorten it to списани́ево (this magazine). Look at the declension of списа́ние (spisánie), which is used in the definite proximal.
