Questions & Answers about La astronomo klarigas galaksion kaj konstelacion.
Why does the sentence start with la?
La is the definite article in Esperanto, meaning the.
So la astronomo means the astronomer.
A few useful points:
- Esperanto has only one definite article: la
- It does not change for gender, number, or case
- There is no separate word for a/an in ordinary Esperanto
So:
- la astronomo = the astronomer
- astronomo = an astronomer / astronomer
Why does astronomo end in -o?
In Esperanto, nouns end in -o.
So:
- astronomo = astronomer
- galaksio = galaxy
- konstelacio = constellation
This -o ending is one of the most basic and useful patterns in Esperanto. If you see a word ending in -o, it is a noun.
Why is it klarigas and not some other verb form?
