    Or you could also say..

    "Estas mia mangxo la suko" for more emphasis on the "is"

        Mi amas mangoj, sed la vorto estas "manĝo" kiu signifas "meal".

            Oh, thank you for the new word! "It was a joke."

            ŝerco = joke (noun)

            ŝerci = joke (verb)

              Please tell me I'm not the only one who somehow thought that was sugar and not juice?

                sukon = juice

                sukeron = sugar

                Completely understandable mistake!

                  Yea, they're much closer in Esperanto than in english. Not the worst group of mistakable words in Esperanto that I know of though.

                    Why isn't meal a direct object too?

                    Meal does not take the accusative ending (-n) because of the preposition kun

                      Why mangho, not manghon?

                      The preposition "kun" makes "kun la manĝo" a prepositional phrase; therefore the noun doesn't receive the accusative ending.
