Questions & Answers about Mia taktiko ne estas tiel simpla kiel via strategio.

Why do mia and via not have -a or -o endings like other Esperanto words?

They actually already have the adjective-type ending built into them.

• mia = my
• via = your

Possessive words in Esperanto usually look like correlatives or pronouns turned into adjectives, and they behave like adjectives. That is why they can describe nouns directly:

• mia taktiko = my tactic
• via strategio = your strategy

If the noun were plural or accusative, these words would usually match it:

• miaj taktikoj = my tactics
• viajn strategiojn = your strategies as a direct object

So mia and via are already in the correct form here.

Why do taktiko and strategio end in -o?

Because -o is the normal noun ending in Esperanto.

• taktiko = a tactic
• strategio = a strategy

In Esperanto, part of speech is shown very clearly by endings:

• -o = noun
• -a = adjective
• -e = adverb
• -i = infinitive verb

So the sentence is easy to parse because both taktiko and strategio are marked as nouns.
