Извинете "Excuse me" is an imperative, used when the speaker is trying to be polite. If the listener is a friend or someone younger than the speaker, the speaker could say извини "Excuse me" instead.

When asking about the location of a site, you can use either the verb е (се for a site that is plural) or се наоѓа (се наоѓаат for plural) - there is no difference in the meaning conveyed.

When asking about a site that is a proper noun, such as Универзална сала, Кале, or Хераклеа, do not use a definite article. However, when the name of the site is more descriptive, such as Соборна црква or Камен мост, or a common noun, such as улица or плоштад - you need a definite article on the end of that noun. For example:

• Извинете, дали знаете каде се наоѓа Универзална сала?
• Извинете, дали знаете каде се наоѓа Соборната црква?
• Извинете, дали знаете каде се наоѓа улицата ...?
