"Ŝi ŝatas ĉokoladon."

Translation: She likes chocolate.

[kaybekwa]

ŝati (v) - from German schätzen, no relation to english shit

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

Ah, thank you, I wondered where it came from. Here is what I found about it:
http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/schatzen

ŝati = to appreciate or like

not to be confused with

sati = to be full or have enough

[Hawke666]

Huh, I assumed it was from the same root as "sated" or "satisfied" (Apparently Latin satis or Old English sadian).

[NovemberQuinn]

We all know what you're thinking... No need to say it.

[Oscypex]

I actually thought of Satan.

[Kresten9]

What were we thinking?

[petporcupine]

Ŝi ŝatas kaj fartas? I should have learned this language a long time ago... Having tons of fun!

[lunyteve]

It will take me a while before I can see those words and not laugh to myself.

[Luke1223]

I mean, who doesn't?

[csvicc_]

About the pronunciation:
Does 'Ŝ' sound like s in "sugar" and 'Ĉ' like in ch in chocolate? At least I'm hearing it, I'm not sure...

[Hawke666]

That's correct.

[NerdNae]

yes. there's a comprehensive list underneath the first lesson group, at least as of February 2018. i kn ow you've probably figured it out by now but i'm leaving it here for future people with the same question.

[draquila]

This can't be an accident.

[Majklo_Blic]

...kaj florojn.

[Zelukai]

and flower?

[Tiago_Kuhn]

And flowers!

[rokukun]

Mi tro sxatas cxokoladon! :D

[Hjulle]

Sjuttiosju sjösjuka sjömän sköttes av sju sköna sjuksköterskor på skeppet Shanghai!

[TobyBartels]

A Swedish tongue twister?

[Hjulle]

Yes, on the same theme as this one. Different variants of the sounds "Ŝ" and "ĉ".

[CScubing]

Damm right she SHOULD.

[AANickFan]

I also love chocolate.

[WCGB]

Don't we all?

[Cribbit_]

Dang right I do.

[Henry891926]

My brain instantly thought cxokoladon had to be cocaine

[vikaso1]

how should I say "she likes a chocolate"

[AANickFan]

"Ŝi ŝatas ĉokoladon."

[MrVulcan]

I keep hearing something like "eh" between "sxatas" and "cxokoladon." Anyone else?

[DavisHerre]

Is there a difference between s and c?

[petporcupine]

Yes, see comment by vicc_walker on this page.
s = s
c = ts
sx = sh
cx = ch

[Nuvatak]

Mi amas ĉocoladon!

[AANickFan]

Ankaŭ mi! Hodiaŭ mi manĝis iom.

[Nuvatak]

Bongusta!
