Questions & Answers about La provizanto instalos la aparaton marde.
La is the Esperanto definite article, equivalent to English the.
It appears twice because there are two separate nouns being identified:
- la provizanto = the supplier/provider
- la aparaton = the device
Unlike English, Esperanto has only one article form: la. It does not change for gender, number, or case.
The ending -o marks a noun in Esperanto.
So:
- provizanto is a noun: supplier/provider
- aparato is also a noun: device/apparatus
A very useful rule in Esperanto is that word class is shown clearly by the ending:
- -o = noun
- -a = adjective
- -e = adverb
- -i = infinitive verb
