Ni vizitos du lokojn, nome la monton kaj la valon.

Vizitos means will visit.

It comes from the verb viziti = to visit.

Esperanto verb endings are very regular:

• -i = infinitive → viziti = to visit
• -as = present → vizitas = visit / is visiting
• -is = past → vizitis = visited
• -os = future → vizitos = will visit

So:

• Ni vizitos = we will visit

Because lokojn is:

• plural → -j
• a direct object → -n

Start with:

• loko = place

Then add the endings:

• lokoj = places
• lokojn = places (as the direct object)

In this sentence, du lokojn is what we will visit, so it gets the accusative -n.

Because the sentence names two places total:

• the mountain
• the valley

Each one is a single place, so each noun is singular:

• la monto = the mountain
• la valo = the valley

Together they make the two places mentioned in du lokojn.

They also function as direct objects, or more precisely, they are in apposition to du lokojn.

The phrase nome la monton kaj la valon explains exactly which two places are meant. Since du lokojn is accusative, the nouns that identify those places also stay in the accusative:

• du lokojn
• la monton kaj la valon

So the -n matches the grammatical role.

Nome means namely.

It introduces a more exact identification of something just mentioned.

So:

• du lokojn = two places
• nome la monton kaj la valon = namely, the mountain and the valley

It is a neat way to say, these are the two places I mean.

La is the definite article, meaning the.

It is used because the sentence is talking about specific places, not just any mountain and any valley. After nome, Esperanto often gives a definite, exact identification.

So:

• monton alone could suggest a mountain in some contexts
• la monton clearly means the mountain

Likewise:

• la valon = the valley

Because viziti in Esperanto works like to visit in English: it takes a direct object directly.

So you say:

• viziti la monton = visit the mountain
• viziti la valon = visit the valley

You do not need a preposition like al here.

That is different from verbs where Esperanto does use a preposition, but viziti is straightforwardly transitive.

In Esperanto, basic numerals like unu, du, tri usually do not change for plural or accusative.

So du stays du.

The noun shows the grammar instead:

• du lokoj = two places
• du lokojn = two places (direct object)

This is very normal in Esperanto.

The main structure is:

• Ni = we
• vizitos = will visit
• du lokojn = two places
• nome la monton kaj la valon = namely, the mountain and the valley

So the sentence follows a very familiar pattern:

subject + verb + object

Then nome ... adds clarification.

Esperanto word order is fairly flexible, but this version is very natural and easy to understand.

The comma separates the main statement from the explanatory phrase introduced by nome.

So:

• Ni vizitos du lokojn = main statement
• nome la monton kaj la valon = explanation of which two places

This punctuation is similar to English:

• We will visit two places, namely the mountain and the valley.

Yes. That would also be correct:

• Ni vizitos la monton kaj la valon.

That simply means We will visit the mountain and the valley.

The version with du lokojn, nome ... is a bit more explicit or formal. It first says two places, then names them.

So the longer version is useful when you want a more structured style:

• We will visit two places, namely the mountain and the valley.

The dictionary forms are:

• loko = place
• monto = mountain
• valo = valley

In the sentence, they appear with grammatical endings:

• lokojn = loko
  • j
    • n
• monton = monto
  • n
• valon = valo
  • n

A good habit in Esperanto is to mentally strip off endings to find the base word.

You only need to change the verb ending:

• Ni vizitas du lokojn, nome la monton kaj la valon.
  = We visit / are visiting two places, namely the mountain and the valley.

• Ni vizitis du lokojn, nome la monton kaj la valon.
  = We visited two places, namely the mountain and the valley.

• Ni vizitos du lokojn, nome la monton kaj la valon.
  = We will visit two places, namely the mountain and the valley.

This shows how regular Esperanto verbs are.
