Questions & Answers about Ni ĉiuj volas pacon.
Why is it ni ĉiuj and not just ĉiuj?
Ni means we, and ĉiuj means all or all of us in this sentence.
Esperanto often uses both:
- Ni ĉiuj = we all
- literally, we, all
Using both words makes the meaning very clear and natural.
If you said only ĉiuj, that would usually mean everyone or all people, not specifically we all.
So:
- Ni ĉiuj volas pacon. = We all want peace.
- Ĉiuj volas pacon. = Everyone wants peace.
What exactly does ĉiuj mean here?
Here, ĉiuj means all in the sense of all of us.
It is the plural form of ĉiu, which means each, every, or everyone, depending on context.
In this sentence:
- ni = we
- ĉiuj = all
So together:
- ni ĉiuj = we all
Because ni is plural, ĉiuj is also plural.
