This is the 933rd most frequent Macedonian word.
али
"Ali" in Macedonian means "but" or "however."
The word 'али' is used in this sentence as a conjunction, translating to 'but', indicating a transition or continuation of thought.
Али, ќе дојдеш на време?
But, will you come on time?
Here 'али' functions as a conjunction indicating a contrast between the two clauses it connects, akin to 'but' in English.
Ми го кажа ова али не го направи.
You told me this but did not do it.
In this case, 'Али' is a proper noun, specifically a name, and is not functioning as a conjunction.
