@genericbee1902 virINO as in (female male, like malviro, being a derivation of viro) and VIRino using vir- as a "prefix" so it means a male-woman, being a derivation of ino. I've never seen it used that way but hypothetically it could

This is incredibly funny to me as a language learner to have this fun challenge of thinking what maltrinki means😂😂😂 My first thought was like vomiting the water, and then the next thought that had formulated its existence into my mind, got me bursting into a sudden laughter and a fulfilling sense of joy, realizing it’s probably a slang for peeing 😂😂😂
Oh you’re the first person I’ve heard mention that in years. It was sad how basically all at once the main team had to ditch for different reasons. I want to revive that one day.
I think the other nations voted for Esperanto because they knew France was going to veto it. Then they can take the high ground and let the French take all the blame. A win-win. I think that if France had voted yes to Esperanto, Britain or Germany would have voted no.
I'd say there are more than enough. A few online courses and apps, books, youtube videos, private tutors, forums and chats... I've seen a couple podcasts that supposedly teach it, but I've never listened to them to say if they're any good at all.
The language is simple enough to learn using the Duolingo app (even though learners of other languages might need extra materials). There are many Esperantists who learned how to speak the language by just using the app, including me. There are of course many other materials and I would also be glad to share them if you let me know your preferred learning method.
Nice overview. 1. The real problem is not language but culture. A person can see that others are acting differently, but if they don't understand why, it can be hard to accept. For example, Americans often do not understand high European taxes because our taxes cover medical care and theirs do not. Likewise, US wages include presumed tips and so Europeans do not understand US tipping culture. 2. I looked up. Originally, Esperanto had about 900 root words, now it looks like about 9000, which is a huge number. Is that estimate correct? That is an insane number. Why do you need so many? Wikipedia gave 33 suffixes and only 10 prefixes. I am not learning 9000 root words; life is too short. How many roots are required for fluency? Perhaps many of those 9000 are very specialised? 3. Other than as a parlor trick, is there any reason to learn Esperanto? For example, has anything really beautiful been written in Esperanto, i.e., not translated into it, something where the language itself brings joy that would be missing when translated into another language?
You’re basically fluent with 2000 roots. All the others are probably technical terms or archaic terms that have fallen out of use. Esperanto is a living language so it slowly absorbs words from other languages for various reasons. Esperanto actually has a massive amount of original literature, especially poetry. Modern authors include Claude Piron and William Auld, who were both nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

I had heard that many times before but your comment made me look into it. This is what I found on a Wikipedia talk page about the golden record: Does anyone know how to account for the discrepancy in numbers? The one extra language listed here that NASA does not include on its official web page is Esperanto, but why would this not be mentioned by NASA? Also worth noting is the fact that NASA just includes Greek and does not differentiate between ancient and modern Greek, whereas Latin and Italian each have their own greetings. I think this needs to be clarified, but I'd like some more information before I make those edits. Cheers, -- Not Sure (talk) 01:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply] OK, after some back and forth with an editor on the German WP , I think I figured out what the issue is. There are 55 greetings in 55 different languages. However, in a separate section called UN greetings (available online here) , there is also a sentence in Esperanto. So there may well be some languages not yet accounted for, but until we've figured those out I'm going to change the article back to 55. Cheers, Not
The video in question looks like many videos that cover the same topic but with jazzier graphics and a particular British speaking style..better of spending your time searching for Espreranto speakers in Africa on the internet where the language is alive and thriving.
@@Evildea Esperanto is really making sense to people in DRC Africa..the one's I communicate with all speak French and Swahili so Esperanto seems to make a good bridge to the wider world. That video is actually positive about Esperanto which you don't pick up on from just the beginning.
"Read Cross" has sponsored the rent of class rooms in two locations in DRC for about 5 months at $50usa. There are other locations looking to do the same.
@@Evildea I was quite confused whether Esperanto is culture or subculture, now this video confirms me that while it has culture (mainly literary and music works), it is also a subculture (together with other constructed languages). Pitifully some don't understand this and still take Esperanto as some sort of global or universal culture... That's unrealistic
Esperanto culture is somewhat like a small country's culture, so most people know little of it, while there is no such "small country", or even "small society" -- Julio Baghy and Bakin (巴金, Bajin) aren't Moresnet or Rose Island citizens.
@Evildea I remember u saying that you began Esperanto at 28 and now u r saying u have studied it for 15 years? But makes no sense as u look and act like you are in your 30s

26:23 If you look at the blackboard, it says La danĝera libro, which is the title of the book Evildea mentioned at 19:33.
The year: 1887. The problem: I can't find a map from 1887. The solution: A map from the 1920s or 1930s.
Hahaha
Amuze mdr
But it should say that the year is 2024.
even without idealism and politics, esperanto is such a fun language. i just realizd the word virino, which people nowaday complain about as sexist, can literally be virINo or VIRino. you can do clever wordplay, i love it
Yeap, I have no interest in politics or idealism and just love the language haha
I am an extreme iĉ-user, so I say ulino instead of virino and uliĉo instead of viro. Unless I talk to older esperantists irl.
I don't understand the difference you mean between virINo and VIRino.

:O maybe you were destined for this language!
Really enjoying your videos! Really informative :)
Thanks!!
I'm surprised they didn't mention the U.S. Army's use of Esperanto, as the "Agressor" language.
I might do a review on that one in the future haha

And you were right haha it is slang for pee :D
@@Evildea I need more Esperanto speakers in my life. I did not know that!
Volapük comes from the English words 'world' and 'speak'.
I love Belarusian, and I don't want it to die.
How’s it looking as a language? Survival wise I mean?
It's classified as vulnerable, according to Unesco, as of 2023.
@SpokeyThings Damn...
Good luck to you. After this conflict, the leadership should change and the state language return. I presume you are a native speaker.
@@aSnailCyclopsNamedSteve I am learning the language. It's really hard due to its grammar.
I’m still waiting for the encapsulated language to take over.

What is the best history book on this?
Here are articles about two books off the top of my head

Almost all of them are in Esperanto.
@@amadeosendiulo2137 Mi estas Esperantisto. Mi scias.
I would translate maltrinki as thirst or through up water. Depending on context. Idk
In slang Esperanto it means to pee haha
@Evildea I didn't think of that 🤣.
I would love to learn it but just not enough resources out there, that I am aware of.
Depends your preferred style. If you ever want to seriously learn it let me know and I can drop you resources :D
I'd say there are more than enough. A few online courses and apps, books, youtube videos, private tutors, forums and chats... I've seen a couple podcasts that supposedly teach it, but I've never listened to them to say if they're any good at all.

If you are interested in this subculture which remains unknown to those who don't learn Esperanto, you can give a try.

@ I started Esperanto when I was 23/24, Zamenhof created Esperanto when he was 28. I’m now 38.

Thanks

" You cant learn a language as an adult "

@ I actually started tinkering with Chinese around 28ish and didn’t seriously start learning it until 33. So yeah that is a myth!
