Breakdown of La liveradreso estas ĝusta.

the delivery address

Questions & Answers about La liveradreso estas ĝusta.

Why is it la liveradreso and not just liveradreso?

La is the definite article, meaning the. Esperanto has only one article, and it does not change for gender, number, or case in this sentence.

So:

la liveradreso = the delivery address
liveradreso = a delivery address or just delivery address, depending on context

If the speaker means a specific address already known from the situation, la is natural.

How is liveradreso built?

Liveradreso is a compound word:

liver- = related to delivery
adreso = address

Together, liveradreso means delivery address.

This is very common in Esperanto: words are often built by combining meaningful parts into one word. English does this too sometimes, but Esperanto does it even more systematically.

Why does liveradreso end in -o?

In Esperanto, nouns end in -o.

So:

adreso = an address
liveradreso = a delivery address

That -o tells you immediately that the word is a noun. This is one of the most regular features of Esperanto.

Why does ĝusta end in -a?

Adjectives in Esperanto end in -a.

So:

ĝusta = correct, right

Because it describes the noun liveradreso, it has the adjective ending -a.

In Esperanto, adjectives usually match the noun in number and case. Here the noun is singular and has no accusative ending, so ĝusta stays simply ĝusta.

What does estas mean, and why is it used here?

Estas means is / are / am.

It is the present tense form of esti = to be.

So:

La liveradreso estas ĝusta.
The delivery address is correct.

Esperanto uses estas for the present tense regardless of the subject:

mi estas = I am
vi estas = you are
li estas = he is
ili estas = they are

Unlike English, the verb does not change depending on the person.

Why doesn’t the verb change to match the subject, like is vs. are in English?

Because Esperanto verbs do not agree with the subject in person or number.

The present tense is always -as:

mi laboras = I work
ŝi laboras = she works
ili laboras = they work

So estas is always the present form, no matter who or what the subject is. That makes Esperanto grammar much more regular than English.

Why does the adjective come after the verb here instead of before the noun?

Here ĝusta is not directly attached to the noun inside the noun phrase. It is a predicate adjective, linked to the subject by estas.

Compare:

La liveradreso estas ĝusta. = The delivery address is correct.
La ĝusta liveradreso. = The correct delivery address.

In the first sentence, ĝusta tells you what the address is. In the second, ĝusta directly modifies the noun inside the noun phrase.

Could the word order be changed?

Yes, Esperanto word order is fairly flexible, because the grammar is marked clearly by endings. But some orders are more natural than others.

The normal, neutral order is:

La liveradreso estas ĝusta.

You could also say:

Ĝusta estas la liveradreso.

But that sounds more marked or emphatic, as if you are emphasizing ĝusta.

For everyday use, the original order is the most natural.

Why is there no -n ending anywhere in this sentence?

The -n ending usually marks the direct object or sometimes direction.

In this sentence:

La liveradreso is the subject
estas is the verb
ĝusta is a predicate adjective

There is no direct object here, so no -n is needed.

That is why the sentence is:

La liveradreso estas ĝusta.

not:

La liveradreson estas ĝusta
La liveradreso estas ĝustan

Those would be incorrect in normal usage.

How do you pronounce ĝusta?

The letter ĝ is pronounced like the j in English jam.

So ĝusta sounds roughly like:

JOO-sta

More exactly:

ĝu like English ju in June, but shorter
sta with a clear st

Also, Esperanto stress is usually on the second-to-last syllable, so:

ĜUS-ta

What is the difference between ĝusta and something like korekta?

Ĝusta usually means correct, right, or proper in a broad sense. It is a very common everyday word.

So in this sentence, ĝusta means the delivery address is the right/correct one.

Korekta can also mean correct, but it may feel a bit more like accurate, proper, or influenced by international usage depending on context. In many everyday situations, ĝusta is the more basic and natural choice.

For a learner, ĝusta is the safest word to remember here.

Can la liveradreso estas ĝusta also mean The delivery address is right?

Yes. Ĝusta can mean correct, right, or the right one, depending on context.

So this sentence could be understood as:

The delivery address is correct.
The delivery address is right.

Since you said the meaning is already known to the learner, the main point is that ĝusta expresses correctness or rightness here.

Is liveradreso more natural than writing two separate words?

Yes, the compound liveradreso is natural Esperanto style.

Esperanto often prefers compact compounds where English may use separate words:

retadreso = email/web address
hejmadreso = home address
liveradreso = delivery address

You may sometimes see alternative phrasings, but the one-word compound is very normal and easy to understand.
