Questions & Answers about La tajloro kudris la zipon.
Why is it tajloro and not just tajlor?
In Esperanto, most basic nouns end in -o. So tajloro is a noun meaning tailor.
A few useful endings here:
- -o = noun
- -a = adjective
- -e = adverb
- -i = infinitive verb
So:
- tajloro = a tailor
- kudri = to sew
What does la mean, and why does it appear twice?
La means the.
It appears before both nouns because both are definite:
- la tajloro = the tailor
- la zipon = the zipper
Unlike English, Esperanto uses the same word la for all genders and numbers. It does not change.
