Zdravo!

Macedonian for hello.

“Zdravo!” means “hello!” in Macedonian, and is pronounced “Stravo!” as long as you remember to do the funny rolling thing with the ‘r’ when you say it.

Interestingly, it’s also the word for hello in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian and Slovene. Do you think that counts as five languages instead of one? ;)

    I’m a Macedonian and Zdravo is pronounced ‘Zdravo’ not ‘Stravo’. The languages are similar to each other. we have same words that’s why it looks like ‘five languages instead of one’ :)
