"Li estas en ŝia hejmo."

Translation: He is in her home.

[brasiko]

Hejmo=home
Domo=house

[theBarkingSpider]

I'll second that question. Can domo and hejmo be used interchangeably?

[efim.wool]

I will answer based on my practice with Spanish:
homo - house - is a building, which is any building.
hejmo - home - is special place for someone, like an idea of place where you belong.
Spanish equivalents are respectively - (casa - house; hogar - home)

[gocardsgo]

Is there a difference in the connotations in Esperanto?

So, when to use domo and hejmo? Are they interchangeable?

[deactivated user]

No, they are not interchangeable. "Domo" means "a house", that is, a building. "Hejmo" means "a home". It could be a building, but not necessarily. "A badger's home is called a sett". I remember a TV advert which said, "Make your house a home". In other words, turn your building into your dwelling-place.

Dun-dun DUUUUUUHN!

[ZanJoKyR]

"En" sounds an awful lot like "el" in this speech sample...

[owenwatters]

The word "Hejmo", in my mind, links with the Scots "Hame" and Geordie "Yem"

[fibonatic]

But I thought that sxia could also reffer to someone earlier in the sentense, since lia would reffer to some other male person.

[Siavel]

Sxia or ŝia is the female possessive pronoun. Sia is the reflexive pronoun that you're thinking of.

How is homo people and house at the same time?

[salivanto]

It's not.

• homo - human/person
• domo - house
• hejmo - home

[lo1u5]

Since Sofia is a dog, doesn't that mean that she lives in a kennel? How can they be there at the same time? O_o

[ShanawazSheikh]

Hopefully it works out for them

Not breaking and entering, I hope.
