"Mi ne estas viro."

Translation: I am not a man.

[sqdcn]

but the narrator is a man

[XamLeumas]

That's what they want you to think..............

[MalcolmZed]

Mi estas Eowyn.

[elvonult]

So, the negative's just put "ne" before the verb?

[vikungen]

Indeed.

[elvonult]

Thanks, just like french but way more simple. I love this language!

[TheDuoWizard]

Did you just assume my gender?

[Jovan1982]

Then who are you. ;-)

[TobyBartels]

I am a free number!

[andybeals]

I'm a person.

[Willowfae]

Why is there not an 'a'?

[Migaylas]

It's a month-old question so maybe you figured it out already, but they explain it in the Tips & Notes section!

"The definite article ("the" in English) is la in Esperanto. For example: la viro = the man.

Indefinite articles ("a" and "an" in English) are not used in Esperanto. For example: viro = a man."

[XamLeumas]

Eowyn

[el_gatto]

Mi estas!

[StephenBellini13]

how to pronounce the "R" in Esperanto? Is it like the "R" in English, or French, or in Spanish, or the trill "R" in Spanish?

[Oxartum]

It's like in Italian, or the Spanish single «r». But French and English speakers with a strong accent might pronounce it closer to their version of «r».

[kuchipatchi]

mi ne estas viro
mi estas transgenera virino

[Zed821543]

Is it supposed to be "I am not a man."? Shows it as the right answer but marks me wrong when I enter it.

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

I've only just started this course but Esperanto is sounding quite Spanish so far.

[Tegbir3]

Guys plz help me with the uses of 'estas'

[Shade131590]

I think it's just the auxiliary verb "to be" in the present form. Havent gotten to different tenses yet to know, but so far it's "am, is, are" (i think it applies to plural nouns too, judging by its predominantly simplified inflections). I think.

[NickeL9740]

It sounded like viero to me. Is that my personal mistake?
