"Mi havas komputilon, klavaron, kaj muson."

Translation: I have a computer, a keyboard, and a mouse.

[RaizinM]

Great! Now you only need your monitoro, and you're good to go.

...you do have one, right?

[camcamcam753]

Mia posxtelefono havas ekranon. Mi bezonas nur tion.

[Pudingego]

Maybe they are computing via teletype-- and have a pet mouse.

[Cocio_16]

"muso"?

I'm sure we could make a better word...

[Ungewitig_Wiht]

Nah, looking on Wiktionary a lot of languages have used their word for the rodent to mean "computer mouse" also so I think this one can slip.

[VincentOostelbos]

Also, komputilekranmontrilkondukilo seems a bit lengthy. Although I suppose we could shorten it to kemko, which is actually kinda cute (and not a word yet, near as I can tell).

[miestasfern]

Or just "tajpilo"

[Ungewitig_Wiht]

Komputiluzilo? Sure, could mean "keyboard" as well but many of the EO compound words can mean many things based upon the morpheme,

[Cocio_16]

What about "klakilo" ?

[jc_eca03]

Yes, just like the word in english.

[VincentOostelbos]

Is the Oxford comma common in Esperanto?

[Majklo_Blic]

I would assume so, since it follows the German model of using a comma to separate every clause, even when English normally wouldn't bother.

[VincentOostelbos]

On the other hand, German itself doesn't use the Oxford comma, as far as I'm aware. Same as my native language of Dutch.

[kmhog]

You can use oxford comma if you want to. It's your choice.

[ISpeakAlien]

The Oxford comma is necessary for proper understanding in any language.

[Cavman144]

is it a live mouse?

[KingPlutoIX]

Why is it klavaron? What is the word made up of?

[zerozeroone]

klav-ar-o = (key)-(collection, group)-(noun marker)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/klavaro

[KingPlutoIX]

dankon

[MichelCant6120]

It is also pretty close from "clavier" in French. That was my presumption.

[SquirlRat]

Tabulkomputiloj ne havas musojn, sed ili havas tuŝekranojn

[Majklo_Blic]

"Mia nomo estas Elmer J. Fudd, milionulo. Mi havas domegon kaj jakton."

(Whenever I see a list of things "I" have, I think of this quote.)

[AdamScott794079]

Is this Oxford comma correct, acceptable, or wrong in Esperanto?

[CelioFM]

AdamScott794079:

Oxford comma in Esperanto is acceptable, neither wrong nor obligatory.

[R_R1234]

Cxu vi fartas bone cxar vi havas muson?

[MarkVortexx]

I like how Esperanto uses the Esperanto word for mouse here. Some languages, like Portuguese, use the English word "mouse" for a computer mouse, instead of the word for the animal mouse, "rato". They also use the English words for email, internet, and web, which I find odd that they couldn't have found any appropriate Portuguese words for them.

[jjjosenaldo]

It's not that we couldn't have found appropriate words. Spanish itself uses the word 'ratón', which is 'rato' in Portuguese. It's just that our language is pretty open to foreign words, especially English ones. As someone kiu multe retumas, I find it very practical.
