Basic Structure
Welcome to esperanto first lesson. In this first lesson we will understand the structure of the language.
First, i will use the sentence:
La birdo kaptas la insekton.
The bird catch the insect.
La:is an article, the only article in Esperanto. It is like the word "The" in English.
birdo: it means bird, all nouns in Esperanto have the termination -o.
kaptas: this is an easy part of the Esperanto... the verbs.
The verb "Kaptas"(catch)
Infinitive Kapti: all verbs in infinitive ends in -i.
Present kaptas : all verbs in present ends in -as.
Past kaptis: all verbs in past ends in -is.
Future kaptos: all verbs in future ends in -os.
The same applies to all the verbs.
Insekton: Note that this noun (insect) doesn´t ends in -o. That is because insekto is the direct object in the sentence, is the word which the verb is directed to.
This was the basic grammar of the Esperanto. I will include a vocabulary with some words so you can start making some sentences,
and using it.
