Skopje is not an English word. In basewords of English origin, the letter k would not precede the o; this would be the job of the letter c (k before e, i, and y; c before a, o, u, and all consonants). According to syllable division rules (in English), you would divide Skopje between the p and the j, which would make the vowel in the first syllable "closed", giving the sound /o/ as in fog. The second syllable would be pronounced /gee/, because e in the final position of the syllable would give its naming sound. Therefore, if this were an English word, it would be pronounced "Scop gee". But, it is not an English word. Skopje is the capital of Macedonia. It is pronounced more like "Scop yay".
