Questions & Answers about La komedio havas amuzan rolulon kaj enuigan scenon.
Why do amuzan, rolulon, enuigan, and scenon all end in -n?
They all belong to the direct object part of the sentence.
In Esperanto, the direct object usually takes the accusative ending -n. Here, the thing that has something is la komedio — the comedy is the subject. What it has is:
- amuzan rolulon = an amusing character
- enuigan scenon = a boring scene
Because both nouns are direct objects, they take -n:
- rolulo → rolulon
- sceno → scenon
And adjectives must agree with their nouns, so the adjectives also take -n:
- amuza → amuzan
- enuiga → enuigan
So the pattern is:
- adjective + noun
- both match in ending
For example:
- bona libro = a good book
- bonan libron = a good book (as a direct object)
