Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Esperanto
I speak one language [singular form] mi parolas unu lingvon
we speak three languages [plural noun] ni parolas tri lingvojn
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] li vizitas multajn landojn
they are happy now [plural pronoun] ili estas feliĉaj nun
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] ŝi havas kvin ruĝajn ŝuojn
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] mi deziras sandviĉon sen cepoj

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Esperanto by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

English - Esperanto
Help helpu!
Call the ambulance alvoku ambulancon
I need a doctor mi bezonas kuraciston
Where is the closest pharmacy? kie estas la plej proksima apoteko?
Are you okay? ĉu vi bonfartas?
I am sick mi estas malsana
Call the police alvoku la policon
