Questions & Answers about La pojno malpli doloras, ekde kiam li komencis porti bandaĝon.
Why is it la pojno and not just pojno?
La is the definite article, meaning the.
Here, la pojno refers to a specific wrist, not just wrists in general. In context, it means the wrist—probably the person’s wrist that has been hurting.
If you said just pojno, it would sound less natural here, because Esperanto usually uses la when a specific thing is being talked about.
What exactly does pojno mean?
Pojno means wrist.
A learner might confuse it with:
- mano = hand
- brako = arm
- kubuto = elbow
So la pojno is specifically the wrist.
Why is doloras used by itself? Doesn’t Esperanto usually need something like estas dolora?
