Prefixe MAL— and Suffixe —IN in Esperanto
The Esperanto language uses a number of prefixes and suffixes to give certain words another meaning.
MAL-
The prefix MAL- is used to express the opposite of a word. Just paste it in front of the word.
Esperanto | English |
---|---|
Kontenta | happy/satisfied |
malkontenta | unhappy/dissatisfied |
bona | good |
malbona | bad |
la amo | the love |
la malamo | the hatred |
la amiko | the friend |
la malamiko | the enemy |
longa | long |
mallonga | short |
-IN
One of these suffixes is -IN. When you put it behind a noun (first drop the -O, then add the suffix, then add an -O again because it's a noun), it indicates that it's the feminine form of the word. In other words: it forms the female equivalent of persons and animals.
Esperanto | English |
---|---|
la patro | the father |
la patrino | the mother |
la frato | the brother |
la fratino | the sister |
la azeno | the donkey |
la azenino | the female donkey |
la heroo | the hero |
la heroino | the heroine |
la viro | the man |
la virino | the woman |
