Mi konsideros la tarifon.

-os is the Esperanto future-tense ending.
So konsideros means will consider.

A quick comparison:

• mi konsideras = I consider / I am considering
• mi konsideris = I considered
• mi konsideros = I will consider

In Esperanto, all verbs use fixed endings, so once you know -os, you can recognize the future tense easily.

The -n ending marks the direct object in Esperanto.

In this sentence:

• Mi = the subject, the person doing the action
• konsideros = will consider
• la tarifon = the thing being considered

So tarifo becomes tarifon because it is receiving the action of the verb.

The base dictionary form is konsideri, meaning to consider.

Esperanto verbs change by replacing the final verb ending:

• konsideri = to consider
• konsideras = considers / is considering
• konsideris = considered
• konsideros = will consider
• konsiderus = would consider
• konsideru = consider! / let ... consider
• konsideri = to consider

This regularity is one of the easiest parts of Esperanto grammar.

La is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• tarifo = a rate / a tariff / a fee
• la tarifo = the rate / the tariff / the fee

Esperanto has only one definite article: la.
It does not change for gender, number, or case, so it stays la even though tarifon has the object ending -n.

Word order matters less in Esperanto than in English because the -n ending helps show what the object is.

The normal order is:

• Mi konsideros la tarifon.

But because tarifon has -n, other orders are also possible, for example:

• La tarifon mi konsideros.

That said, the most natural and neutral order is usually subject + verb + object, just like in the original sentence.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• Mi = mee
• konsideros = kon-see-DEH-ros
• la = lah
• tarifon = tah-REE-fon

A few useful pronunciation notes:

• Esperanto stress is almost always on the second-to-last syllable
• So konsideros is stressed on de
• tarifon is stressed on ri

So the sentence sounds roughly like:

mee kon-see-DEH-ros lah tah-REE-fon

Not always exactly. Tarifo can mean tariff, but it can also mean a rate, price schedule, or fee structure, depending on context.

So in different situations, la tarifon might mean:

• the tariff
• the rate
• the fee
• the pricing

The exact English translation depends on what kind of payment or charge is being discussed.

Usually, Esperanto keeps the subject pronoun, so Mi konsideros la tarifon is the normal form.

Because konsideros only tells you that the action is future, not who does it, leaving out mi would usually sound incomplete unless the subject is already very clear from context.

So for learners, the safest choice is:

• Mi konsideros la tarifon.

Here is the breakdown:

• Mi — pronoun (I)
• konsideros — verb in the future tense (will consider)
• la — definite article (the)
• tarifon — noun with the accusative ending -n (the tariff / rate / fee as the direct object)

This is a very typical Esperanto sentence structure and a good example of how endings show grammar clearly.

Yes, depending on context, konsideri can have a few related meanings, such as:

• consider
• take into account
• regard as

For example:

• Mi konsideros la tarifon. = I will consider the rate / fee.
• Mi konsideras lin amiko. = I consider him a friend.

So the exact nuance depends on what follows the verb.

Because in Esperanto, la never changes. It is always just la.

Compare:

• la tarifo = the tariff
• la tarifon = the tariff (as a direct object)
• la tarifoj = the tariffs
• la tarifojn = the tariffs (as direct objects)

The noun changes, but the article stays the same. This makes Esperanto grammar simpler than many European languages.
