"Ili almenaŭ dormis."

Translation: At least they slept.

[Nootmuzkaatje]

Would you pronounce this 'almenAŭ' or 'almEnaŭ'?

[KateVinee]

(I realize you posted this like a month ago, but just in case you or somebody else still wants to know:) almEnaŭ. The -aŭ is a diphthong, so it's only one syllable. http://forvo.com/word/almena%C5%AD/#eo

Thanks :D

Dankon! Gxi helpas min!

Almenaŭ sounds a lot like its equivalent in Spanish: "Al menos."

Same en la portugala "Ao menos"

It seems that things escalated quickly after https://www.duolingo.com/comment/8960046. Glad to hear that at least they slept after https://www.duolingo.com/comment/9805450 and https://www.duolingo.com/comment/9146476. Maybe that explains why https://www.duolingo.com/comment/10206045.

I can't understand what "at least" refers to:

at least THEY slept (and we didn't)

or THEY at least SLEPT (they didn't do anything else).

[salivanto]

Are you asking about the English sentence - because to me the Esperanto sentence is clear. They at least got some sleep, even if they didn't sleep well.

I believe you answered the question. Thanks!
