Questions & Answers about La bitlibro estas senpaga; la sonlibro kaj enciklopedio estas haveblaj.

Is bitlibro a normal Esperanto word, and how do words like bitlibro and sonlibro work?

Yes. They are regular Esperanto compounds.

In Esperanto, compound words are often written as one word, and the last part is the main idea:

• bit-libro = a kind of book connected with bits or digital form
• son-libro = a kind of book connected with sound

So both are types of libro.

A native speaker might also use other terms in real life, depending on context, but these forms are grammatically clear and easy to understand.

What does senpaga literally mean?

Senpaga is built from:

• sen = without
• pag = pay, payment
• -a = adjective ending

So literally it means without payment.

That is why it means free of charge. This is different from libera, which usually means free in the sense of not restricted or not controlled.
