Language/Esperanto/Grammar/How-to-Use-Be
Hi Esperanto learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to use the verb "be" in Esperanto. We will look at the different forms of the verb and how to use them in sentences. We will also look at some examples of sentences using the verb "be".
The verb "be" is one of the most important verbs in Esperanto. It is used to express existence, identity, and location. The verb "be" has three forms: esti (to be), estas (is), and estos (will be).
The verb "esti" is used to express existence or identity. For example:
- Mi estas studento. (I am a student.)
- Ĉi tiu estas mia domo. (This is my house.)
The verb "estas" is used to express the present tense. For example:
- Li estas en la lernejo. (He is at school.)
- Ŝi estas feliĉa. (She is happy.)
The verb "estos" is used to express the future tense. For example:
- Mi estos tie morgaŭ. (I will be there tomorrow.)
- Li estos profesoro. (He will be a professor.)
Here is a table with some examples of sentences using the verb "be":
| Esperanto | Pronunciation | English Translation |
