      Can it not be "Mi ne manĝas la viandon."? I ask this because in French you would say "Je ne mange pas la viande." and the grammars of Esperanto and French seem similar.

        "La viando" is a specific piece of meat you're having right now (the meat), not meat in general.

        Actually in French it would be Je ne mange pas de viande.

              Could this not also be "Mi mangxas ne viandon." I thought the order of adverbs didn't matter?
