This recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater. The Esperanto Teacher, a simple course for nondramarians by Helen Fryer, Lesson 9. The names of certain quantities are formed from the cardinal numbers by adding O, as Dekduo, a dozen, Dudeco, a score, Cento, a hundred, Milo, a thousand. These names, as well as names of quantities generally, require to be followed by Da, of, as, Dekduo da birdoi, a dozen birds, but, Dekdu birdoi, twelve birds, Dudeco da pomoi, a score of apples, Cento da xafoi, or Cent xafoi, a hundred sheep, Milo da homoi, a thousand people, Milo da homoi, thousands of people. When these expressions form the object of the verb, it is the name of the number which takes no, not the noun which follows da, as, Leageti Studecon da xafoi, he bought a score of sheep. For firstly, secondly, etc., e is added to the number, as, Unue, firstly, quine, fifthly, deque, tenthly, si, Lesson 12.

Lesson 10. Verbs Continued. Verbs in E and OO. In the examples already given the verbs ending in us, ease, orse express action or being. That is a state going on in present, past, or future time. As me scribas, I am writing. Le legis, he read. Ni iros, we shall go. If we wish merely to express the idea of action or state indefinitely, without reference to any time or any subject, the verb must end in E, as vivi, to live. Mi desiras lerni, I wish to learn. Ni devas labori, we must work. This is called the indefinite or infinitive mode, manner of expression, because not limited by reference to time or subject. To give an order or command or to express will, desire, purpose, etc., The verb must end in OO. Dono al mi panon. Give to me bread. Iru for. Go away. Estu felicia. May you be happy. Vivo la regio.

Tell or say to him that he come. Mi desiras ke vi cantu. I wish that you sing. Permesso al si, ke si parolu. Allow her that she speak.

Sometimes we want to express a supposition to say that something would take place if something else which is not likely to occur were to do so, or that something would have taken place if something else which did not occur had done so. In this case, the verb must end with us, as, if I were well, which I am not, I should be happy, which also I am not. Semi estus sana mi estus felicia. If he knew supposition that I am here, a fact, he would immediately come to me. Supposition. Se li stils ke mi estas tieci, li toy venus al mi. Compare the two following sentences. One.

The Esperanto teacher, a simple course for non-Gramarians by Helen Fryer, lesson 12. When we tell of someone doing a certain action, we often want to allude to some circumstance concerning that action, such as the time, or place, or manner in which it was done. That is, when, or where, or how it was done. In the sentences, yesterday I met your son. Hier au mir incontis via filon, he will go in the evening. Li iros vesperre. They sat there. Ili sedis tie. She will remain at home. She restos heime. Good children learn diligently. Bona infanoi lernas diligente. I will do it with pleasure. Mi faros cin plesure. The words hier au vesperre show the time. Tie heime show the place. And diligente plesure show the manner of the action. Because these words relate to the verb, they are called adverbs. Adverbs may be formed from any word whose sense admits of it, and especially from adjectives by means of the termination e, as bona, good, bona. Bonne, well, bonne. Antau, before, antau. Antaue, previously, or formerly, Antaue. Mateno, morning, mateno. Matene, in the morning, matene. Sekvi, to follow, sekvi. Sekve, consequently, sekve. When we want the adverb to show direction towards any place, time, et cetera, either actually or figuratively, no is added, as li al kurris heimen. He ran home. I li levis un umanon supren. They raised one hand upwards. Antauen, forward. No is also added to nouns to show direction towards. Li eniris en la dormon. He entered into the house. Some adverbs are used with adjectives and other adverbs to show the degree of the quality, quantity, et cetera, as the paper is very white. La papero estas tre blanca. Too much speaking tires him. La tro multa parolado la sigaslin. I am as strong as you. Mi estas tiel forta, kiel vi estas forta. He came very early. Li venis tre frue. The following words are in themselves adverbs and need no special ending. Vocabulary. Ho diyao, today. Ho diyao. Hi e rao, yesterday. Hi e rao. Murgau, tomorrow. Murgau. Baldau, soon. Baldau.

This is a LibriVox recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater. The Esperanto teacher. A simple course for non-Gramarians by Helen Fryer. Lesson 15. Verbs continued. In all the examples already given, the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action. But often it is the one to whom the action is done and of whom we wish to speak. This one then becomes the subject and the form of the verb is changed. Instead of saying the police are searching for the thief, someone has broken the window, someone is going to finish the work tomorrow, we say the thief is being sought for by the police. The window has been broken. The work is going to be finished tomorrow. Note the convenience of this form when we do not know or do not wish to mention the doer. In Esperanto, the termination is ada, being, denoting incompleteness or present time, ita, having been, denoting completeness or past time, and ota, about to be, going to be, denoting action not yet begun or future time are added to the root of the verb as ami, to love, amata, being loved, amita, having been loved, amota, going to be loved. La stelisto esta serciata della polizano. De is used after these participants to denote the doer of the action. The thief is being searched for by the police. La fenestro estas rompita. The window has been broken. La laboro estas finota morcao. The work is going to be finished tomorrow. It will be seen that these words ending in ata, ita, ota describe the subject or show the condition or state in which the subject is. Therefore they are adjectival. The thief is a searched for thief. The window was a broken window. The work is a going to be finished work. Compare the work will be ready tomorrow. They are called participants and being adjectival take yaw when the noun to which they belong is plural. Mi estas denata. I am being held. Li estas denata. He was being held. Ni estos denatae. We shall be held. Vi estos denatae. You would be held. Ke iliestu denatae that they may be held. Estu denata be held. Esti denata to be held. Mi estas vidita. I am in the state of having been seen or I have been seen. Li estis vidita. He was in the state of having been seen or he had been seen. Ni estos viditae. We shall be in the state of having been seen or we shall have been seen. Vi estos viditae. You would be in the state of having been seen or you would have been seen. Ke iliestu viditae that they may be in the state of having been seen or that they may have been seen. Esti vidita to be in the state of having been seen or to have been seen. Mi estas laudota. I am about or going to be praised. She estis laudota. She was about or going to be praised. Ni estos laudotae. We shall be about or going to be praised. Vi estos laudotae. You would be about or going to be praised. Ke iliestu laudotae that they should be about to or going to be praised. Esti laudota to be about or going to be praised. Vocabulary. Commerzaggio.
