Usage notes

• Some of the examples above (popular and dominant in Skopje as jargon phrases and expanded everywhere from there) don't have common stress, but should have in standard Macedonian. Northern, Eastern and Central Macedonia (only younger generations) don't use common stress in most sentences (а́кцентски це́лости (ákcentski célosti) in Macedonian) because its usage has naturally vanished, while Southern, Western and Central (only older generations) still use the standard Macedonian common stress in everyday conversations. This is where it is pronounced in standard Macedonian common stress:

• се́дни/се́ди ми на́ курот ― sédni/sédi mi ná kurot ― sit on my dick
• на́ еден кур растоја́ние ― ná eden kur rastojánie ― near by (literally, “at dick's length”)
• преку́ кур ве́ќе! ― prekú kur véḱe! ― I'm fed up with this shit! (literally, “through a dick already!”) (ќ is not stressed, simply a Macedonian letter but is exactly like the stress symbol. In this example, according to the Macedonian rule 'when there is a two-syllable preposition + one-syllable noun' then it is optional to use common stress.

• Because "Не ку́рчи се" is a negative imperative, the pattern of the words is crucial, but it became popular in the wrong way (as in every negative imperative, not just vulgar, so it's weird for Macedonians to use them in the correct way). Colloquially, Macedonians say "не се ку́рчи" even though it's not standard Macedonian. This pattern (e.g. "не ку́рчи се" = standard Macedonian) is used only for negative imperatives! For non-imperatives, for example, the correct way is Те са́кам (Te sа́kam, I love you), not са́кам те (sа́kam te). Or се де́ре (se dere, yells), not де́ре се (dе́re se)).

        Княгиня. Искренно любитъ–графъ Фольгинъ! ха, ха, ха! Ахъ! ma chère, очень видно, что ты еще не жила въ свѣтѣ.
        Софья. Почему-жъ кажется вамъ это невѣроятнымъ? Я не имѣю никакой причины сомнѣваться въ его искренности.
        Княгиня. О конечно! Странно только, что графъ, не смотря на свою искреннюю любовь къ тебѣ, старается меня увѣрять въ томъ-же; дѣлаетъ куры тетушкѣ, и волочится даже…
        Даша. За мною. Да почему-жъ и не такъ, сударыня, вѣдь и я также женщина.
        Софья. Это лишь вѣтренность. Я увѣрена, что графъ любитъ одну меня.
        Княгиня. Или можетъ быть богатое приданое, которое тетушка даетъ за тобою.

        Sophie. He genuinely loves me.
        Duchess. Count Folgin loves genuinely?! Ha, ha, ha! Ah! My dear, it is really transparent that you haven’t lived in the world.
        Sophie. Why do you deem it improbable? I have no reason to doubt his sincerity.
        Duchess. Sure! Curious though that the count, not regarding his genuine love for you, strives to persuade me of the same; he woos auntie, and even chases after her…
        Dora. After me? And why not, madam, since I am likewise a woman?
        Sophie. This is merely flightiness. I am certain that the count loves me alone.
        Duchess. Or it might be the rich dowry that auntie gives with you.
