I feel both Greek and Macedonian. So I can understand both sides' allegations in this whole naming dispute.
When I talk to friends, family or comrades I always tell "Μακεδονία" when I refer to the country, "Μακεδόνικα" or "Μακεδονίτικα" to the language and "Mακεδόνες" to the people.
When I talk to to Greek nationalists I refer to RoM as "ΠΓΔ Μακεδονίας". Ι always give "Μακεδονίας" a full writing. I refer to the language and the language as Slav-Macedonian or just Macedonian(rarely). You have to notice that nationalists are reducing dramatically in numbers after 1996. There are also just a few dozen morons like the "Pan Macedonian" one's here in Greece.
Here you can find a picture of their latest demonstration in Athens. They were no more than 200 people.
It's just how I've learned to tell by the mass media. It's also not that safe to refer to RoM as Macedonia in public here in Greece. Or at least there's a fear about it.
I Live in Thessaloniki/Solun/Selanik. I call the city Thessaloniki or simply Saloniki as I always have to deal with Greeks. I'm used to call it like this.
(I'm also used to say Leningrad and not St. Petersburg, Stalingrad and not Volgograd )
As for my English I've learned them in a private school here in Greece up to a good level. I'm supposed to have efficiency to teach here in Greece. But I don't.

Thanks for your efforts to help guys

1)Why is it exactly you feel half Greek? Are both your parents Macedonian?

2)And are you a member of a Greek nationalist forum?

Suhin, aren´t u afraid to be catched by the "men in blacks" for writing the truth ???
i mean, u r writing from greece and i bet my ass that all traffic is filtered...resp. they read here on that forum.

Through a link given by a greek nationalist in a greek forum a couple of days ago.

it seems that your ass means nothing to you. You must be very stupid if you belive what you say...

That is why I asked.

we used to have babari in Bitola, I think they used to represent the passed present and future. Is kolede celebrated in Canada?

No hard feelings though. Right?

Yep here it is http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/200e/41-41.jpg
in the right part, above 'Langaza see'

Suhin, using the term Greek Macedonia I think does not do your ethnic roots justice. Aegean or egejska makedonija i think is more appropriate

Good find, Dejanche -- do you know what year that map is?

Suhin is very close to the Belo More (White Sea = Aegean)

Superb map, Dejanche!

Everything before 1913 is our history, everything after 1913 is there history. They changed all the place names to make the area look Greek. That is the artificial basis of today's 'Greekness'.

Here is Pelagonia, I know most of these villages.

That is why I asked.

stefanos.gr: do you think Greek nationalists don't read this website? Search google my friend for 'maknews' and see what comes up.

Venom, of course some greek nationalists and anyone else are reading this web-site. Would you bet your ass, that the greek authorities are watching and tracing the IP adresses and send the "men in black" to arrest people like "Suhin"?

See what your stupid propaganda can cause to naive guys like "dimko-piperkata"!!!

I tell you what i have done the last 2 years while i am trying also to expand my knowledge on the Macedonian language.
A. I have purchased this Greek - Macedonian dictionary on a journey at Stip, summer 2006.
It is very useful. I proposes you to buy it (about 12 euro).
