Questions & Answers about La fenestro estas granda.
Why do we use La here?
La is the definite article in Esperanto, similar to the in English. Esperanto doesn't have an indefinite article like a or an, so whenever you want to be specific, you use la.
Why does fenestro end in -o?
In Esperanto, nouns typically end with the letter -o. This is one of the language’s basic rules. So fenestro is simply the noun form meaning window.
What part of speech is granda?
Granda is an adjective meaning big or large. Adjectives in Esperanto usually end in -a, which sets them apart clearly from nouns (ending -o), adverbs (ending -e), and so forth.
Can I change the order of the words, like Granda estas la fenestro?
Yes, you can rearrange the word order in Esperanto more freely than in English, due to the language’s regular structure. However, it is more natural (and more common) to keep the same order as in English unless you have a stylistic reason to change it.
