Questions & Answers about La dentisto eltiras la muelodonton.
La is the Esperanto definite article, meaning the.
So:
- la dentisto = the dentist
- la muelodonton = the molar / the tooth in question
Esperanto has only one article, la. It does not change for gender, number, or case, and there is no separate word for a/an. If you want an indefinite sense, you usually just leave the article out.
So a learner should notice two things here:
- la always stays la
- Esperanto does not have a word corresponding directly to English a/an
