Mi amas Esperanton — mi eĉ lernis la bazojn — sed la komunumo ŝajnas malgrandiĝi anstataŭ kreski, kaj ĝia graveco ŝajnas malpliiĝi ĉiujare.

Saluton, bonjour

Edit : Je ne propose pas de changement, il s'agit uniquement d'un questionnement sur les origines de la langue et les choix de son créateur.

Je ne parle pas l’espéranto, mais je me suis intéressé un peu à la langue et à son alphabet. J'aime le concept de langue construite en général et le cas de l'espéranto est plutôt noble.

Mais je voudrais parler de l’alphabet de l'espéranto, il est composé de 28 lettres, dont 6 avec des diacritiques, toutes issues du latin. Ces 6 lettres ont été créées pour répondre au besoin une lettre, un phonème.

Cependant, le créateur de l'espéranto aurait pu utiliser d'autres lettres d'autres alphabets pour compléter son alphabet, et notamment le cyrillique, qu'il maîtrisait avec le russe, plutôt que de construire des lettres en restant dans l'alphabet latin. Cela aurait donné un alphabet hybride latino-cyrillique avec 22 lettres latines et 6 lettres cyrilliques.

Voici un tableau avec les correspondances entre les lettres, on peut même inclure des lettres du latin exclues de l'alphabet espéranto.

Lettre espéranto	Prononciation API	Lettre non espéranto	Prononciation API	Alphabet
ĉ	/t͡ʃ/	ч	/t͡ʃ/	Cyrillique
ĝ	/d͡ʒ/	џ	/d͡ʒ/	Cyrillique serbe
ĥ	/x/	х ou x latin	/x/	Cyrillique ou latin
ĵ	/ʒ/	ж	/ʒ/	Cyrillique
ŝ	/ʃ/	ш	/ʃ/	Cyrillique
ŭ	/w/	ў ou w latin	/w/	Cyrillique bélarus ou latin

Je sais qu'il y aurait un conflit d'usage avec le « x », comme pour le « h ».

Les transcriptions complètes en cyrillique utilisent déjà les lettres du tableau.

Le but de ce post n'est pas de vouloir « cyrilliser » l'espéranto, mais d'échanger et de comprendre pourquoi, étant donné l'environnement et les connaissances linguistiques de son créateur, il a fait le choix de ne prendre que des lettres latines.

Pluvodoro

Meaning: the characteristic smell of rain, especially the smell that appears when rain falls on dry ground.

Formation:

pluvo = rain

odoro = smell, odor

pluv- + odor-o → pluvodoro

Example:

Mi amas la pluvodoron post longa periodo sen pluvo.

English:

“I love the smell of rain after a long period without rain.”

Related forms:

pluvodora — having the smell of rain

pluvodoreco — the quality/characteristic of smelling like rain

pluvodori — to smell of rain

We’ve recently gotten surprisingly good results transcribing Esperanto from all kinds of videos - monologues, interviews, street interviews, different accents, background noise, etc.

So we're curious whether there’d be interest in something built specifically around watching comprehensible Esperanto.

The idea would be a scrollable feed of short Esperanto videos, graded by difficulty. We mark words according to frequency, like if they’re among the 500, 1,000, or 2,000 most common Esperanto words so learners can quickly see which unfamiliar words are actually worth learning.

We recently built this kind of app for Spanish and are working on Portuguese, but Esperanto would be more of a passion project for us.

So I’m curious: Would you actually use something like this?

And if you already watch Esperanto content, where do you find good beginner/intermediate videos? YouTube channels, Shorts, TikTok accounts, interviews, creators, etc. would all be really helpful.

If there’s enough interest to build it, we’d also love to find a few Esperanto speakers/learners willing to test the app, since our own Esperanto definitely isn’t good enough to check everything ourselves.

Just to give you an idea of what the Esperanto watch feed app would look like, take a look at the Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Arabic, German, Japanese, Dutch, Hungarian or Polish versions, or any other natural language you know or are stuyding (picked a few random ones so you don't have to navigate yourself)

Tradukita el la originalo en Interlingue, kiu poste estis tradukita al Interlingvao, ĝi nun aperas en la lingvo de Zamenhof.

Lunvoro: the feeling of suddenly becoming highly motivated or inspired late at night, especially when everyone else is asleep.

Formation:

lun- = moon/night

-voro = from voro (“devourer”), used creatively to suggest something that consumes you.

Example:

Mi ne povas dormi — mi havas lunvoron kaj volas krei tutan projekton!

“I can't sleep — I have lunvoro and I want to create an entire project!”

Adjective: lunvora — characterized by this feeling

Person: lunvorulo — someone who frequently experiences it.

Give me your thoughts and your opinion if the word should become official.

I coincidentally started reading 1984 around the same time that I decided to start casually learning Esperanto about two weeks ago, and the similarities with Newspeak have been interesting.

I see that this topic has been discussed a few times, but what I’m interested in (as an interpreter myself) is the translation of the book into Esperanto. Has anyone read the book and can explain or give examples of the translator’s solutions to Newspeak in a language that works on a similar system?

r/Tricking is pretty complicated and only seems to have English words to describe its tricks. Here is a proposal to create Esperanto words with a good, unambiguous foundation.

Trick Syntax

[entry] + [takeoff] + [twist] + [shape] + [flip]

A "corkscrew" can be broken down, in English: [j-step] + [swing] + [one twist] + [tucked] + [backflip]

For brevity, we can assume default values:

• entry- no entry / standing
• takeoff- 2 footed
• twist- no twist
• shape- tucked
• flip- backflip

All tricks start with the root word (flip) and are modified by entry, takeoff, twist, and shape.

example: "flip" would imply "standing back tuck with no twist".

Entry / Setup Skills

English	Esperanto
Cartwheel	Rado
Roundoff	Rondrado
Raiz	Raizo
Scoot	Skuto
Macaco	Makako

Takeoff Positions

English	Esperanto
Two footed	[Nothing/ default]
One footed, swinging	X-

Twist Count

English	Esperanto
No twist	[Nothing/ default]
1/2 twist	Duontordo
full twist	Tordo
1 1/2 twist	Unu-duonatordo
dub twist	dutordo

Shape / Tuck

English	Esperanto
Tucked	Grupa [default/ implied]
Layout	Streĉita
Pike	Pika
Flash Kick	fulmkika

Flip

English	Esperanto
Backflip	Salto
Frontflip	Antaŭsalto
Sideflip	Flanksalto

Complete Trick Names Examples

English	Esperanto
Roundoff Backflip	Rondradosalto
Cheat Gainer	X-salto
Corkscrew	X-Tordosalto
Webster	X-Antaŭsalto
Tricker Cart Full	Rado tordoantaŭsalto
Standing Flash Kick	Fulmkikasalto
J-step Gainer Flash Kick	X-Fulmkikasalto

Feedback

This proposal mostly just deals with flips and twists. It does not take into account certain things

• Axis of flip (cheated vs true)
• Kicks (I have not defined anything for bkicks, btwists, 540, tornado, etc. Looking to do this in the future).
• Some English ports of tricks clash might clash with existing words (pika = spikey)
• Double flips can be extremely complicated, especially when the first has a different number of twists than the second (ie. "cork in back out")

If you have any feedback or additional proposals, let me know

Jen la plena versio de la kanto, kiun mi dividis pli frue; mi devis ŝanĝi nur kelkajn silabojn. Tamen, mi ne povis korekti la pli longajn vortojn, sed mi opinias, ke la rezulto estas plaĉa.
La ĉefa malfacilaĵo en ĉi tiu tradukado komenciĝis per la titolo, ĉar ĝi rilatas al la fama sciiga sono "You've Got Mail!", kiu ne havas ekvivalenton en Esperanto. Pro tio, oni uzis stiligitan version de la nova retpoŝta alarmsono de Windows 9x, farita de DavidMounder9598 [YouTube].

Mi esperas, ke la rezulto plaĉos al vi.

Vi estas perua ??

Estos regiono aŭ sendependa insulo?

This is a post where you can ask any question you have about Esperanto! Anything about learning or using the language, from its grammar to its community is welcome. No question is too small or silly! Be sure to help other people with their questions because we were all newbies once. Please limit your questions to this thread and leave the rest of the sub for examples of Esperanto in action.

Jen afiŝo, kie vi povas demandi iun ajn demandon pri Esperanto. Iu ajn pri la lernado aŭ uzado de lingvo, pri gramatiko aŭ la komunumo estas bonvena. Neniu demando estas tro malgranda aŭ malgrava! Helpu aliajn homojn ĉar ni ĉiuj iam estis novuloj. Bonvolu demandi nur ĉi tie por ke la reditero uzos Esperanton anstataŭ nur paroli pri ĝi.
