Macedonian

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

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

Verb

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

  1. (transitive) to scold, reprimand
    Synonyms: прекори (prekori), прекорува (prekoruva)
Usage notes
  • 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".
