Espéranto, c’est intéressant! Mais je parle le français. 
moi aussi! Mais j’ai oublie beacoup, parce-que je n’avais pas aime mon prof de francais!
Mi parolas Franclingvon, malbone.
La Franclingvo estas vorte tre kiel Esperanto ĉar la Franclingvo estas grande bazata de Latinlingvo kaj tia estas Esperanto.
I speak French, poorly.
French is very like Esperanto as far as vocabulary is concerned because French is largely based on Latin, as is Esperanto.
I prefer Esperanto.
Lucid Dream is "Sogno Lucido"in Italian - with 'sogno’most probably coming from the Latin ‘somnum’(sleep).
By the way, about LD in various languages…I’d be curious as how it’s pronounced in oriental languages like japanese and chinese…I guess you can’t post oriental characters here though
⾪⾩!
Of course, if you don’t have suitable fonts (and a Unicode browser) you won’t see it. It means “slave mound.”
LD in esperanto is “vaka revo”, “vakrevo”, “konscia revo” or “konscirevo” (vaka meaning awake and revo meaning a dream.) I’ll try my hand at translating EWLD into it.
Strangaj, mireblaj kaj maleblaj okazas regule enreve, sed homoj ĝenerale ne konsciiĝas ke la ekspliko estas ke ili revas. “Ĝenerale” ne signifas “ĉiam”, kaj estas multsignifa escepto je tiu ĉi ĝeneraligado. Iam revantoj korekte konsciiĝas la eksplikon de la bizarajn okuzantajn ili travivas, kaj konsciaj revoj kiel la superfabelataj estas la rezulto.
Strange, marvelous, and even impossible things regularly happen in dreams, but people usually don’t realize that the explanation is that they are dreaming. Usually doesn’t mean always and there is a highly significant exception to this generalization. Sometimes, dreamers do correctly realize the explanation for the bizarre happenings they are experiencing, and lucid dreams, like those recounted above, are the result.
We’d save such a lot of paper if books were published in Esperanto.
No. We’d waste more, because everyone would demand a copy in their own language in the end. 
I really want to take up French/Spanish/German again - lack of use has made me very rusty. If I went to France I’d probably pick it up quickly though.
I’m thinking of taking up some language courses if they do them locally. But they will probably charge a fortune.
Inexplicably I read spanish better in spain than elsewhere.
Heh.
Bengoodger, mi ankau parolas Esperanton…
Miaj ambau^ gepatroj estas esperantistoj… Sed mi forgesas g^in rapide.
And I don’t even have the special letters for it… but oh well.
//All nagging systems online
Lil correction…“sogno” comes from “SOMNIVM”, “sonno” comes from “SOMNVM”. But yeah, they’re related.
And…I’ve understood at least 3/4 of that esperanto stuff…
Ja, that’s because Esperanto is basically latin + greek + german + english. For instance, pomum became pomo; dormi is derived from a similar Latin word, etc…
And the grammar is essentially Latin minus most of its cases and oddities:
nouns (-o)
adjectives (-a)
adverbs (-e)
infinitive (-i)
plural (-j)
accusative (-n)
present (-as)
future (-os)
past (-is)
conditional (-us)
imperative (-u)
And it’s easy to combine words, for instance pomo plus igi form “pomigi” or “make appley”, “add apples to”, etc (esperanto is the only language to have entirely unchangable memphemes, so you can stick words together like in German (Bovĵajetikedadkontroladdeĵordelegitadleĝfaristfarilo anyone?) (This means “a beef labelling supervision duties delegation law maker maker tool” and probably lots of other things, as I’ve left out the dashes.)
Go go Esperanto!
Mi esperas ke ĝi pligrandiĝos ĝis ĝi estas tutmunda, se ĝi estas ne tia jam.
Bye Esperanto, nice knowing you…
Nobody in their right mind would use that word.
Esperanto words are generally no longer than about six letters long. Many are shorter. The average sentence length is shorter. The average number of syllables in a direct translation is higher.
It’s just the fact of putting words together that annoys me…unless 2 words together or not mean different things, like “this this” means a thing and “thisthis” means another. If it’s just for the sake of complicating stuff, my brain makes a bad face.
Anyone speak Welsh? I found this free online course here and I’m going to start learning soon!
You wouldn’t like Finnish, then.
Like Esperanto, it is entirely based on the idea of shoving memphemes together to make complex words.
I’ve been to Wales before and I learnt a little bit of Welsh while there. All I really remember was that “ar agor” was “open”, and “ar gau” was “closed”. They were from shop windows. ![]()
I know Allanfa which means “exit” (we have it on some trains in Cornwall.)
It’s not the same thing. I don’t think Finns actually use compound words a lot, and it should mostly be crystalized forms (what il mio professore said: when you stick words toghether and the meaning changes). Like the word they use for “computer,” if I remember correctly.
But yeah, I don’t like the possibility of compound words either…
Komputi + ilo = komputilo
Compute + er = computer
Kontroli + isto = kontrolisto
Supervise + or = supervisor
Asist + isto = asististo
Assist + ant = assistant
Where is the difference between English and Esperanto?
Also, consider “birdsong”, “sausagemeat”, “candlestick”…
All examples of English compound words. And all of them just mean the sum of their parts, as they should.
