"Sofia fieras pri si mem."

Translation: Sofia is proud of herself.

[fxeyub837]

Can mem not work on its own without si?

[jxetkubo]

Mem has to be linked to something: mi mem, Sofia mem, memstari etc.

[PoisonPlatypus]

So sometimes we just have to say semem. Alrighty then.

To be honest, that's exactly what I heard when I first played the audio.

[PolVolMolt]

Ok, I have to ask it. Why does one change all names to an -o termination but Sofia's?

Adam -- Adamo

Sofia -- Sofia

Is she so proud that she doesn't accept Esperanto naming rules?

[zerozeroone]

Cultural rules.

Names should ideally end in -o to be both grammatical (since they’re nouns) and pronounceable when the ending -n is needed. But sometimes a final -o is undesirable—especially in cultures that reserve the “o” sound for male names. For example, an Italian named Maria probably doesn’t want to be known in Esperanto as Mario! Thus it isn’t uncommon to see female names in Esperanto ending in -a: Silvja, Maria, Klara, etc.
