Notes
- est’ is the verb root and always appears wherever the verb is used. Does this verb even have a root in English? (am, is, are)
In the above verb display, note:
- ŝi (she) is pronounced exactly like the English "she"
- ĝi (it) is pronounced like the English "gee!", as in "Jeep"
- vi (you) is both singular and plural, like the English "you."
(There is a word "ci", singular, but it is used much as the English singular "thou" - not very often!)
