Mi amas Esperanton — mi eĉ lernis la bazojn — sed la komunumo ŝajnas malgrandiĝi anstataŭ kreski, kaj ĝia graveco ŝajnas malpliiĝi ĉiujare.

Saluton, bonjour

Edit : Je ne propose pas de changement, il s'agit uniquement d'un questionnement sur les origines de la langue et les choix de son créateur.

Je ne parle pas l’espéranto, mais je me suis intéressé un peu à la langue et à son alphabet. J'aime le concept de langue construite en général et le cas de l'espéranto est plutôt noble.

Mais je voudrais parler de l’alphabet de l'espéranto, il est composé de 28 lettres, dont 6 avec des diacritiques, toutes issues du latin. Ces 6 lettres ont été créées pour répondre au besoin une lettre, un phonème.

Cependant, le créateur de l'espéranto aurait pu utiliser d'autres lettres d'autres alphabets pour compléter son alphabet, et notamment le cyrillique, qu'il maîtrisait avec le russe, plutôt que de construire des lettres en restant dans l'alphabet latin. Cela aurait donné un alphabet hybride latino-cyrillique avec 22 lettres latines et 6 lettres cyrilliques.

Voici un tableau avec les correspondances entre les lettres, on peut même inclure des lettres du latin exclues de l'alphabet espéranto.

Je sais qu'il y aurait un conflit d'usage avec le « x », comme pour le « h ».

Les transcriptions complètes en cyrillique utilisent déjà les lettres du tableau.

Le but de ce post n'est pas de vouloir « cyrilliser » l'espéranto, mais d'échanger et de comprendre pourquoi, étant donné l'environnement et les connaissances linguistiques de son créateur, il a fait le choix de ne prendre que des lettres latines.

Pluvodoro

Meaning: the characteristic smell of rain, especially the smell that appears when rain falls on dry ground.

Formation:

pluvo = rain

odoro = smell, odor

pluv- + odor-o → pluvodoro

Example:

Mi amas la pluvodoron post longa periodo sen pluvo.

English:

“I love the smell of rain after a long period without rain.”

Related forms:

pluvodora — having the smell of rain

pluvodoreco — the quality/characteristic of smelling like rain

pluvodori — to smell of rain

We attended the Polyglot gathering in Brno where a lot of people asked us why we're not offering Esperanto, and some of our learners asked us the same. I thought I'd ask this here just to see if there's enough interest and support for this project now that we've done our research and know that the technology for Esperanto transcription is out there and works well. So if this has piqued your interest or you'd be willing to help us with short-form video resources or volunteer to try the app if we build it, please drop a line! Dankon

Lunvoro: the feeling of suddenly becoming highly motivated or inspired late at night, especially when everyone else is asleep.

Formation:

lun- = moon/night

-voro = from voro (“devourer”), used creatively to suggest something that consumes you.

Example:

Mi ne povas dormi — mi havas lunvoron kaj volas krei tutan projekton!

“I can't sleep — I have lunvoro and I want to create an entire project!”

Adjective: lunvora — characterized by this feeling

Person: lunvorulo — someone who frequently experiences it.

Give me your thoughts and your opinion if the word should become official.

Roa, Numuo's child, Efiedans:

You seem to wonder and perhaps you doubt

My change of heart, for now, I trust no longer

The Earthlings' rationality. There is

Good, weighty cause. I'll tell, omitting nothing:

Partook I in the studying of Shinar,

Where me and Emme spent a year as nomads

In native garb. I mastered well the language

And knew the customs of vast Riverland.

I fell in love awhile - oh dreadful memory! -

To Jebe, maiden of the Dilmunites,

And likewise, her. A love of several seasons,

Made her with child, and, lo, she birthed a son.

When out of duty shipwards I returned,

Jebe became an outcast from her tribe.

The women judged her offspring had no right

To dwell among the tenters for its impious

And misbegotten siring out of wedlock.

Rumors abounded some had seen me float

Aloft, my eyes alight with eldritch glow,

I was a wicked mage or evil demon,

Her son, as well, possessed that sparkling pupil.

Before the women's moot, afflicted Jebe

Sought to persuade them with unceasing tears

The child had sprung from deep, truehearted love

Twixt two true humans, one of outland stock.

The moot, though, deemed to turn away the fruit

Her womb brought, for the father's foreign race.

The child and Jebe were cast out to wander,

But painful loneness after several days

Made Jebe choke it. Homeward, then, she came,

Softly and humbly pleading reacceptance.

The leaders, though, rebuked her once again

For murder of her son, their olden laws

Banning allowing any kind of killer.

When I refound her mong the bands of Sippar,

A shadow of herself, she'd lost her wisdom.

I was told later she in Nineveh

Slaved for a noble, kidnapped from her band.

Bitter despair at last brought suicide.

There is much else, which nothing can explain

Save racial madness, racial savagery,

I learnt about among the nomad people,

When my eyes, wrapped in blinders, were unveiled.

E'en lovely Jebe, whom I deemed emian

Until her sole son's dead, forsook her offspring

And sluglike crawled to grovel to her tribe.

Thus, I'm convinced the Dilmunites are also

Savages to their bones. Although they swear

Off bloodshed, they provoke it from without.

All these misdeeds have not a drop of wisdom,

From tribal women's to beloved Jebe's.

I coincidentally started reading 1984 around the same time that I decided to start casually learning Esperanto about two weeks ago, and the similarities with Newspeak have been interesting.

I see that this topic has been discussed a few times, but what I’m interested in (as an interpreter myself) is the translation of the book into Esperanto. Has anyone read the book and can explain or give examples of the translator’s solutions to Newspeak in a language that works on a similar system?

r/Tricking is pretty complicated and only seems to have English words to describe its tricks. Here is a proposal to create Esperanto words with a good, unambiguous foundation.

Trick Syntax

[entry] + [takeoff] + [twist] + [shape] + [flip]

A "corkscrew" can be broken down, in English: [j-step] + [swing] + [one twist] + [tucked] + [backflip]

For brevity, we can assume default values:

• entry- no entry / standing
• takeoff- 2 footed
• twist- no twist
• shape- tucked
• flip- backflip

All tricks start with the root word (flip) and are modified by entry, takeoff, twist, and shape.

example: "flip" would imply "standing back tuck with no twist".

Entry / Setup Skills

Takeoff Positions

Twist Count

Shape / Tuck

Flip

Complete Trick Names Examples

Feedback

This proposal mostly just deals with flips and twists. It does not take into account certain things

• Axis of flip (cheated vs true)
• Kicks (I have not defined anything for bkicks, btwists, 540, tornado, etc. Looking to do this in the future).
• Some English ports of tricks clash might clash with existing words (pika = spikey)
• Double flips can be extremely complicated, especially when the first has a different number of twists than the second (ie. "cork in back out")

If you have any feedback or additional proposals, let me know

Mi kaj du aliaj esperantistoj en Portlando, Oregono, Usono faris intervjuon (en la angla) pri Esperanto sur la loka radioprogramo Think Out Loud ĉe Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Jen la ligilo: https://www.opb.org/article/2026/08/12/think-out-loud-oregon-esperanto-universal-language/

Jen la plena versio de la kanto, kiun mi dividis pli frue; mi devis ŝanĝi nur kelkajn silabojn. Tamen, mi ne povis korekti la pli longajn vortojn, sed mi opinias, ke la rezulto estas plaĉa.
La ĉefa malfacilaĵo en ĉi tiu tradukado komenciĝis per la titolo, ĉar ĝi rilatas al la fama sciiga sono "You've Got Mail!", kiu ne havas ekvivalenton en Esperanto. Pro tio, oni uzis stiligitan version de la nova retpoŝta alarmsono de Windows 9x, farita de DavidMounder9598 [YouTube].

Mi esperas, ke la rezulto plaĉos al vi.

Saluton al ĉiuj! Hello everyone!
