Summary/Abstract: This article is about forms of imperfective aorist in Macedonian language. The usage of these forms presently is very rare in western Macedonian dialects, especially in speech of younger population, while they are in regular usage in Eastern Macedonian dialects. We analyze usage of eight often-used verbs in four Macedonian dialects. In the dialect of the capital, Skopje, forms of imperfective aorist are practically abandoned.
