Ĉi tiu abono havas pli grandan bendlarĝon.

Ĉi tiu means this.

It is made of:

• tiu = that one / that
• ĉi = a particle that brings it close to the speaker, so tiu becomes this

So:

• tiu abono = that subscription
• ĉi tiu abono = this subscription

In modern Esperanto, ĉi tiu is the usual way to say this before a noun.

Ĉi tiu abono is the subject of the sentence: this subscription.

The sentence structure is very straightforward:

• Ĉi tiu abono = subject
• havas = verb
• pli grandan bendlarĝon = object

So the pattern is basically:

This subscription + has + greater bandwidth

This is a very normal Esperanto word order.

Abono means subscription.

It comes from the idea of subscribing to a service, plan, magazine, etc. In this sentence, it most likely means a service plan or package, such as an internet subscription.

Related forms:

• aboni = to subscribe
• abonanto = subscriber
• abonpago = subscription fee

Havas is the present tense of havi, which means to have.

So:

• mi havas = I have
• vi havas = you have
• ĝi havas = it has

Esperanto verbs do not change according to the subject the way English verbs do. The ending -as always marks the present tense.

So havas can mean:

• have
• has
• am having / is having / are having

depending on the subject and context.

Pli means more.

It is used to form comparisons:

• pli granda = bigger / larger
• pli rapida = faster
• pli bona = better

In this sentence:

• pli granda bendlarĝo = greater bandwidth

So pli is doing the job that English sometimes does with more or with a comparative ending like -er.

It is pli grandan because the adjective grandan describes a noun that is in the accusative.

The noun here is bendlarĝon, and it ends in -n, so any adjective modifying it must also end in -n.

Compare:

• granda bendlarĝo = a large bandwidth
• grandan bendlarĝon = a large bandwidth (as a direct object)

Since this whole noun phrase is the direct object of havas, both the noun and its adjective take -n:

• pli grandan bendlarĝon

The ending -n marks the accusative, which in Esperanto usually shows the direct object of the verb.

Ask: what does this subscription have?

Answer: pli grandan bendlarĝon

So bendlarĝon is the thing being had, which makes it the direct object.

That is why it ends in -n.

In Esperanto, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in both:

• number
• case

So if the noun is plural, the adjective is plural too. If the noun is accusative, the adjective is accusative too.

Examples:

• granda domo = a big house
• grandan domon = a big house (object)
• grandaj domoj = big houses
• grandajn domojn = big houses (objects)

So:

• bendlarĝon is accusative
• therefore grandan must also be accusative

Bendlarĝo is a compound word.

It is built from:

• bendo = band
• larĝo = width

So literally it is something like band-width, which matches the English word bandwidth very closely.

Compound words are very common in Esperanto. Usually the last part is the main idea, and the earlier part modifies it.

Here:

• the main word is larĝo = width
• bend- tells you what kind of width: band width

It is understandable and transparently formed, but in actual usage many speakers also use forms influenced by international technical vocabulary, especially in computing and telecommunications.

Depending on context, you may also encounter terms based on larĝbendo or other technical phrasing. Still, bendlarĝo is easy to understand because Esperanto compounds are very productive.

For a learner, the important grammar point is how the word behaves:

• bendlarĝo = bandwidth
• bendlarĝon = bandwidth as a direct object

Esperanto has no indefinite article. So there is no separate word for a/an.

It does have a definite article, la, for the, but it is only used when needed.

So:

• bendlarĝo can mean bandwidth or a bandwidth, depending on context
• la bendlarĝo would mean the bandwidth

In this sentence, no article is necessary.

Not in this sentence as written.

Ol is used when you explicitly compare two things:

• Ĉi tiu abono havas pli grandan bendlarĝon ol tiu. = This subscription has greater bandwidth than that one.

But if you simply say it has greater bandwidth without stating what it is greater than, you can just use:

• pli grandan bendlarĝon

So ol is only needed when the second thing in the comparison is actually mentioned.

Yes, in this context pli granda can be translated as greater or bigger / larger, depending on what sounds most natural in English.

Literally:

• granda = big / large
• pli granda = bigger / larger / greater

With something technical like bandwidth, English usually prefers greater bandwidth or higher bandwidth, but Esperanto is using the regular comparative of granda.

Esperanto forms comparisons analytically, with separate words:

• pli = more
• malpli = less
• plej = most
• malplej = least

So instead of changing the adjective itself, Esperanto adds a comparison word:

• granda = big
• pli granda = bigger
• plej granda = biggest

This makes the system very regular.

Almost, yes.

A very literal breakdown is:

• Ĉi tiu = this
• abono = subscription
• havas = has
• pli grandan = bigger / greater
• bendlarĝon = bandwidth

So a very literal English version would be: This subscription has greater bandwidth.

The grammar matches quite neatly here, except that Esperanto shows the direct object with -n, while English relies mostly on word order.

Yes, Esperanto also allows tiu ĉi, so you may see:

• ĉi tiu abono
• tiu ĉi abono

Both mean this subscription.

However, ĉi tiu abono is generally the more common and natural form for many learners and speakers.

The biggest grammar points are:

• ĉi tiu = this
• havas = present tense of havi
• pli makes a comparative
• the direct object takes -n
• adjectives agree with the noun, so grandan matches bendlarĝon

So the key pattern is:

subject + verb + accusative object

with adjective agreement inside the object phrase:

• pli grandan bendlarĝon
