"Mi iras al vi."

Translation: I go to you.

[ookamishi]

I go towards you

[Kuno333]

you know what? maybe it's the writer en mi, but this sentence seems like romantic kind of. like, a heartfelt thing said during a discussion or even an argument. idk. i'm just over here, being me.

[littleowlalexa]

Like, "when I'm feeling down, I go to you." :)

[SoiledFlapjacks]

I thought so, too.

[deactivated user]

my mother tongue is Spanish and yes looks familiar to me

[LifeLearner77]

I am coming to you. should work. It sounds more natural. their translation is awkward.

[JBunaHu]

Would "I come to you" be different?

[joyrajd]

Why is it "vi" and not "vin"? In the Accusative Tips & notes, it says that the accusative ending is never used with the verb "estas". Is "iras" also like this then?

[OfficeTrotter]

I think it is because it comes after a preposition ("al"). The accusative ending seems to be used only when one needs to distinguish between subject and object, as in "Mi vidas vin".

[cyberkristiyan]

I think it would sound better in English as "I'm coming to you" ... "I go to you" sounds like a bad translation to me.

[cvictoria42]

"I'm coming to you" and "I'm going to you" sound equally fine to me. The simple present for either one sounds awkward though, unless there's a context like "Whenever I have a question, I go to you"

[UnkelBig]

I agree

[Alexandra369571]

this is one of my favorite languages to learn

[SongxistoBR]

What if "Iras" sometimes is pronounced like "Ihas" and other times sounds duolingo sounds like "Iras".

OBS: "Iras" in latin pronounciation of the R letter.
In portuguese we just use a one more R to get that sound.
Exemple: Carro(Car) and Terra(Earth).
I really don't know if it's "Iras" or "Ihas".

[ShelleeBoo]

Letters in Esperanto only one sound and Always have the same sound.

Thats thr point of Esperanto is

[IanShales]

I think that, I am coming to you, sounds more reasonable.

[thomasahle]

What about "I walk to you"?

[SirExotic]

'walking' is a specific method of getting there, 'going there' is very general.

[MardiMonkey]

Al is to in Italian!

[LorenaLedezma]

I go to you. Mmm....I think is incorrect. For me "I am going to you" is the correct form.

[Adinarayan99]

When is you "vi" and when is it "vin"? I assumed it is "vin" at the end of a sentence but that clearly is not the case. In one of the accusatory exercises, "I love you" has "vin" at the end.

[Johannes017]

Why did he pronounce the second i longer than the other ones? Accordig to Wiktionary ,'iras' is supposed to be pronounced /iras/, but he pronounced it /i:ras/.

[BethanyJos1]

Why is it "vi" and not "vin?" The answers below did not clear it up for me.

[v.ivanov]

"Al" already means direction, so no need for accusative here. "Sur" means being on a surface, and when we need to show the direction, we use accusative ending -n; so this mechanics is for prepositions showing the place, while other prepositions (al, dum etc.) never use it.

[drownloader]

Wrong, wrong, wrong. In English, "I go to you" is TERRIBLE, which is why google searching for the exact phrase "I go to you" delivers 2 (two) (!) results and "I'm going to you" delivers ZERO. The idiomatic "I'm coming to you" should be accepted; "come" and "go" are not opposite here.
