WORD BUILDING in Esperanto

Esperanto is like a LEGO game. All you do to form a word is to join prefixes and suffixes as well as an ending to the root word.

You can even join roots together to form new words.

• vapor+ŝip+o = steam+ship
• okul+vitr+o+j = eye+glases
• sam+temp+e = same+time (simultaneously)
