- The word тоалет is a loanword that entered Macedonian via French, where 'toilette' originally referred to the process of dressing and grooming.
- When asking for the тоалет in public, Macedonians may use the phrase каде е WC-то, pronouncing the letters as 'ве-це', which is the common shorthand for water closet.
