Kiel oni diras Esperante, parolante pri sorĉistinoj: "Que las hay las hay, pero no hay que creer en ellas". Jen mia provo: “Iuj ja estas-estas, sed oni ne kredu je ili.” Antaŭdankon.

Hi. In the original Spanish version of this sentence, it says "dineros". Can I say "monoj" in Esperanto? Trying to convince my parents of this kind of lunacy, when they had placed so much hope in me and spent so much money they did not have, was a waste of time. Provi konvinki miajn gepatrojn...

Hola. En la siguiente lista de insultos me interesa establecer qué se entiende exactamente por "brunulo". ¿Es como quien dice "un facha" o podría aplicarse a un izquierdista también?: "Ni pliriĉigu la vortaron de s-ro d-ro Lavojo per iom da insultoj por ofende alparoli aŭ priskribi homon: [...]...

¿La palabra en esperanto "jubileo" equivale a "jubileo" en la siguiente frase?: En kiu moskva biblioteko okazis granda ekspozicio lige kun la 100-jara jubileo de Esperanto? ¿En español, jubileo sólo se usa en sentido religioso? Si así fuere, sólo centenario sería una buena traducción, creo.

Busco un refrán equivalente a Kiu ne atentas la "se", tiu sentas la "ve", que más o menos alude al principio según el cual "quien no se cuida del peligro perecerá en él". Mi versión: Harto es bobo quien se mete en la boca del lobo.

Busco un refrán español que dé el sentido de Kiu panon donas, malsaton ne konas (literalmente, "Quien regala pan, el hambre no conoce"). En otras lenguas: http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/648684. Lo más cercano que se me ocurre: Al que menos tiene más le viene.

Saluton! I found on the internet that people translate ''I'm not living, I'm just killing time'' as ''Ne porvivajxo nur mortigi tempo''. This sounds a little weird to me though. The first part of the sentence in esperanto especially. And shouldn't it be ''tempon''? I would go with: Mi ne...

Saluton ĉiuj :) (Don't know if it's okay) Mi ekstudis Esperanton hieraŭ, sed mi havas iom dubon. Kiel vi diras ''might + verb '' kaj '' might + have + participle'' en Esperanto? Ekzemple: 1) That might hurt, but I have to give it a shot 2) He might have written many of his plays...

Mi bezonas tradukti la frazon "I come from Brazil", "Vengo de Brazil". mi scias ke "deveni" signifas "come from", "venir de", sed mi ne scias kiel uzi ĉi tio vorton. Ĉu estas "Mi deveni de Brazil" aŭ "Mi deveni Brazil"? Dankon! Mi dankus korektojn.

¡Muy buenas! Me he confundido en esto: resulta que encontré la palabra sani, y supuestamente significa ser/estar sano; pero también, por el infinitivo esti, podría ser esti sana. Pues ahora. . . no sé cómo sería. Yo sé que en Esperanto el infinitivo es -i, por eso puse esti sana, pero ahora...

I have a doubt about the word building in Esperanto. -in- is the feminine suffix and -eg- is the large size suffix. If viro means man, virino means woman and virego means giant. What should I write to mean "female giant"? Virinego or viregino?
