Did you know?
- In poetic or highly dramatic Macedonian songs, you might hear the word мраз (frost) used metaphorically to describe a cold, hateful heart.
- In many Balkan cultures, including Macedonia, expressing intense hatred verbally is often seen as a very serious breach of social etiquette compared to the more casual use of 'hate' in English.
