Macedonian edit

Pronunciation edit

Etymology 1 edit

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *karati (“to punish, scold”).

Verb edit

кара • (kara) third-singular present, impf (perfective искара)

  1. (transitive) to scold, reprimand
    Synonyms: прекори (prekori), прекорува (prekoruva)
Usage notes edit
  • Whereas this word has a general application, it is often associated specifically with children, so using it to speak of adults being scolded, e.g. by their boss, may make it sound as though they were being infantilized. A more appropriate word for adults (and serious situations in general) would be "прекорува".
