"You hope that you know."

Translation: Vi esperas, ke vi scias.

[n0ot]

Why is this in the affirmative and not subjunctive, I.E. Vi esperas, ke vi sciu?

[Pat92205]

I'm not positive, but it could depend on the context.. Whether you know something at the present time (affirmative) or in some hypothetical situation (subjunctive).

[andrewgtreantos]

Why not? Vi esperas tion vi scias.

[johmue]

"tion" (= tio+n) and "ke" are completely different words. Their English equivalents happen to be identical "that".

Why not "konas?"

[lyubomirv]

"Konas" means to know someone. That doesn't make much sense, at least to me.

Got it, thanks

I know that in this direct translation "scias" is correct, but "komprenas" has almost the same meaning in general conversation. I would use "komprenas" if I was asking someone this question as "komprenas" would elicit a better response, from the person I was talking to. (Knowledge and Understanding)! In some contexts if I just use "scias" I think I would sound kind of "rude", especially if I was a friend, but it would be ok, if I was talking to people in general.
