"Malgraŭ la bona vetero, mi estas tie ĉi."

Translation: Despite the good weather, I am here.

[dnaleor]

Malgraŭ la bona vetero, mi estas tie ĉi, lerni esperanton en mia malluma ĉambro ;)

[CelioFM]

Malgraŭ la bona vetero, mi estas tie ĉi, LERNANTE esperanton en mia malluma ĉambro

[pwn_]

So uhh, why is there a "ĉi" at the end of it?

[vikungen]

Tie = there

Tie ĉi / ĉi tie = here

Tiu = that

Tiu ĉi / ĉi tiu = this

See where this is going?

[pwn_]

Got it, thanks :)

[BGXCB]

All examples, no jargon, have a lingot.

[CelioFM]

"ĉi" makes the place or object to be closer to us.
TIE = there
TIE ĈI = here

[drofdarbegg]

"Malgraŭ" comes from the Italian "malgrado", meaning despite.

[nekros2493]

Or french Malgré

If Zamenhof recomends using cxi tie, is there any reason to use tie cxi instead?

[MailmanSpy]

No reason. Just personal preferences and minuscule nuances.

[gabela30]

So if "Malgraŭ" means "despite", what does "graŭ" mean?

[PatriciaJH]

"In accordance with"... but it's a back formation, because "malgraŭ" is from the Italian "malgrado" and isn't actually "mal+graŭ" at all. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/malgra%C5%AD#Esperanto

[BGXCB]

It's curious that a new language would use "mal" in that way, and still make up words beginning with mal?

[mizinamo]

I've also heard it used for "thanks to" (and glossed as dank' al).

But only jocularly because, as you say, it's not an official word.

[daguipa]

I guess the French "malgré" also had an influence on it, probably a bigger one since French was, in Zamenhoff days, more "international" than Italian.

[CelioFM]

"MALGRAŬ" is a primitive word, not a compound word.
The word "GRAŬ" doesn´t exist.
