Basic Structure

Welcome to esperanto first lesson. In this first lesson we will understand the structure of the the esperanto.

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. Is like the word "The" in English.

birdo:it means bird, all nouns in speranto have the termination -o.

kaptas:this is an esay part of the esperanto... the verbs.

       The verb "Kaptas"(catch)
             Infinitive Kapti: all verbs in infinitive end 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 apply for all the verbs.

Insekton: Note that thsi 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 is teh basic grammar of the esperanto. I will include a vocabulary with some words so you can start making some sentences, and using it.

                    Vocabulary #1
