Questions & Answers about Mi legis revuon en la kuirejo.
Why is it mi and not mia?
Mi means I and is the subject pronoun.
Mia means my, so it would need a noun after it, like mia revuo = my magazine.
In this sentence, the speaker is the one doing the action, so Esperanto uses mi.
Why does legis end in -is?
In Esperanto, verb endings show tense very regularly.
- -as = present
- -is = past
- -os = future
So:
- legas = read / am reading
- legis = read / was reading
- legos = will read
That means legis tells you the action happened in the past.
Why does revuon have an -n at the end?
