Questions & Answers about Postmorgaŭ, la tria de marto, ni renkontiĝos en la kafejo post la laboro.
How is postmorgaŭ built, and why is it one word?
Postmorgaŭ means the day after tomorrow.
It is built from:
- post = after
- morgaŭ = tomorrow
Esperanto often combines elements like this into a single word when the meaning is clear and common. So postmorgaŭ is a normal standalone adverb of time.
Why does the sentence say la tria de marto for the date?
Esperanto commonly expresses dates with:
- la
- ordinal number + de
- month
- ordinal number + de
So:
- la tria de marto = the third of March
You could also write the number as:
- la 3-a de marto
Both are normal.
Why is there a la in la tria de marto?
In Esperanto, ordinal dates normally use la:
- la unua de majo = the first of May
- la deka de junio = the tenth of June
So la tria de marto is the standard pattern.
Why is it de marto and not something like marto-n or en marto?
