but you can learn esperanto in like a month... estas tre facile stultuloj...

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

You can learn it in a month….if you are from Western Europe.

[-] jpablo68@infosec.pub 6 points 3 months ago

Two if you're from anywhere else, seriously the number of words you need to learn is minuscule compared with other languages because of the suffix and prefix system that esperanto has

You might as well just write it in Singlish. It's not a real language so it would be difficult to write a technical paper. What is Esperanto for hydrodynamics?

What is Esperanto for hydrodynamics?

Hidrodinamiko

[-] jpablo68@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

If a word does not exist in Esperanto you can use other words to create a new one just like hydrodynamics means (roughly don't @ me) "study of movement of fluid" you could put together fluid + movement + study (Fluidmovadlogio) in esperanto and it would be completely understandable even if you don't know the "correct" term

Are you ok? Do you smell burning toast?

(I kid, I knew a guy who was really good at it, it was always fun to have him translate things to esperanto for fun)

lol, BTW spoken esperanto has a bit of a problem because the person speaking it injects the pronunciation of its language into it so you end up with germans and french doing the german and french "R" or the anglos mispronouncing a lot of vowels.
