"Esperanto kaj la interreto estas bona paro."

Translation: Esperanto and the internet are a good pair.

[CelioFM]

Couldn´t I say "IS Esperanto and Internet a good couple"?
I think that "Esperanto" and "Internet" TOGETHER form a pair...

[DavidBergm7]

Yeah, this is simply wrong. "Internet" is at least as right as "the net"

[mizinamo]

Do you really say "Internet" without "the"? As in "I posted it on Internet" or "Internet is a dangerous place"?

Where are you from?

[DavidBergm7]

I usually say "the Internet," but it depends on the exact use. Am from Trumpland.

It's quite common to skip "the" in uses including non-adjective use, such as "get Internet at home"; one does not get "the Internet" at home. Similarly, one asks whether someone has "Internet at home", not whether he has "the Internet at home."

Internet::The Internet : Television set::television. Outbound is more "the Internet"; inbound is more "Internet."

More to the point: who says "the net"? Ever? I mean I have been using this internetwork of networks since the 80's, so who knows, different variants might come and go. The web, yes, but "the net"?

I would rank those three variants as:

1. The Internet -- but "the" is much more mandatory in other languages, like Spanish, Italian etc.
2. Internet
3. The Net

I have edited my previous question, and thus composed a new question.

[CelioFM]

Couldn´t I say "IS Esperanto and Internet a good couple"? I think that "Esperanto" and "Internet" TOGETHER form a pair... [I´ve edited my former question]

[Ellenspeaking]

you should be able to say that because that is correct English: Is a good pair, not "Are a good pair. DL is wrong here

Im suprised to see 'rr' in 'interreto', I understood that double letters like this did not exist in Esperanto! Is the double letter prounounced differently?

[AveleenEt]

It's not a double letter, it's a combination of two morphemes.
Inter+reto, mal+longa, pra+avo...
