17 year old Momce Makedonce from Sydney

Thats irrelevant. Probably your grandmother would also cheer for the king Ferdinand of Bulgaria if he would enter Salonika instead of Constantine of Greece.

When Venizelos entered Izmir after Greek army invaded it in 1919, there was some people cheering for him too. Most likely the same people also cheered for Ataturk in 1922 in the same place. OR If Turkish army would enter Salonika today, i am quite sure that there would be some people in there who cheers for us too.

Onur
I can gaurantee that there would be more than "some" cheering!

Can anybody assist in these questions?
Why did Macedonia join Yugoslavia?


How did the current Macedonian last names come to be? Also why do some end in “ski” and others in a ” v”?


Why is the Macedonian language similar to its neighbours such as Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria?

Just questions mate no hidden agenda. Nice to meet you by the way.

I should “brush up on the division of Macedonia”? That’s good. I don’t remember saying that I’m 17 or something. Actually, my grandmother (when she was alive) was taking pride for being present in the cheering crowd when Constantine entered Thessaloniki in 1912, so I was kind of speaking on her behalf. She would never guess she was a “new nation” in Macedonia.

My age has little relevance to your argument. Neither of us were there to experience the division of Macedonia first-hand. That may have been your Grandmother's opinion on the matter, but it differed from the majority of the local population at the time.

The likes of Brian and a few others have left many of us suspicious, but I think Momce is legit for what it's worth.

Why did Macedonia join Yugoslavia?

It had about the same choice in joining Bulgaria and Greece.

I am sure these names have existed for hundreds of years. I have personal family names that include "ski" and "v" and others. I also suspect many more "ski" names were created during Yugo times as people were slotted neatly into their respective categories.

Did it occur to you that this is a much more reasonable outcome than completely different languages as soon as a modern border is crossed? I suspect before the nations of the 1800's were conceived that languages gradually changed as you ventured further from central locations within a region. It still remains true today to a lesser degree.

Where are your people from Momce?

Mate, for a 17 year old you come across reasonably 'switched on'.
You write very well and you can obviously turn on a computer and navigate your way around the internet.

You either understood the meaning of the word 'disingenuous' and its context, or you did some 'research' to determine its meaning.

So why not research your questions, instead you've thrown them up for a second time in this thread, even after many posters made an effort to address them.

I've been around these forum for quite a few years now not to recognise obvious chook scratchings...

But please continue...mate.

hey, you wanna have a wager on this buddy...how about you put one of your fancy Fenders on the result...???

I'm far from being convinced in opposition to you!

Not all teenagers are the same mate. English has always been my best subject so naturally my writing would be pretty efficient. However yes I did search 'disingenuous'.

I guarantee you 100% I am Macedonian, 17 years old and live in Sydney Australia. I wouldnt be on this forum if I wasnt. Those particular questions were not answered so I though I should just ask them a second time. I have tried researching them but there are not many websites which cover the questions which I asked.

You come across as a bitter type Phoenix. Whether its because you think I am not really who I am saying I am or thats just the way you areI dont know. I am not here to waste my time arguing with fellow Macedonians. I am here to learn and assist where I can.

Thanks for answering those Risto! But what do you mean at the end by "Where are your people from Momce?"
