"Ili ĉiam kuras en la stratoj."

Translation: They always run in the streets.

[FredCapp]

ĉu iu havas ĝenojn aŭdi la S en «stratoj»?

[Revilo_N]

Estas ĉi tiu "en" anglicismo? Kial ne "sur"? Oni ne kapablas kuri ploĝante en la mastiko de la stratoj, sed sur la supraĵo de la stratoj.

[LouisSepdekdu]

The street is a three-dimensional space. I'm not sure of the English word for what you're on when in the street, but in Esperanto it's "ŝoseo".

[liu-yue-si-ri]

*Ĉu ĉi tiu "en" estas anglicismo?

[FredCapp]

Fakte, ne.

[EricHParker]

the speaker hides the "s" is stratoj

[johmue]

I can hear it clearly.

[AdamScott794079]

Povas vin uzas "strate" signifi en la stratokj?

[Hughnorris170652]

Why is there no slow listening option in Esperanto as there is in other languages. After a all there has just been an update zo this was missed?

[LouisSepdekdu]

Because it's a recorded voice, not a synthesized one.

[David430826]

Could this also be "They are always running in the streets"? I don't think so because of the different meanings. I can't think of how Esperanto would distinguish between the two.

[P_Azul]

Jes.

[EsperantaGeraldo]

Why is "en" sometimes translated as "in" and sometimes "into"? How does one make this distinction in Esperanto?

[FredCapp]

En is always in unless there is an accusative (of direction) involved. I'll try to give you some examples: La kato iras en la ĉambro tells us that the cat is in the room and going someplace (we hope not on the rug) but the La kato iras en la ĉambron tells that the cat is going into the room.

I do hope that this helps.

[ramaimarvin]

very helpful thanks. I kept getting dinged for putting 'in' instead of 'into', then this one dings me for putting 'into' instead of 'in'. I was wondering what was going on!
