"Ŝi mortis ĉar li ne amis ŝin."

Translation: She died because he didn't love her.

[robinac]

That sounds a little dramatic.

[Cosmomica]

Holy sh*t! This just got dark!

[rapn21]

Sounds like your typical soap opera

[PatriciaJH]

Or countless Appalachian ballads: with banjo and dulcimer. Twined bramble and brier grow from mutual graves.

[to old Beach boys tune] Ba-ba-ba Bar-barbara Allen!

[ChuckBaggett]

The song is Barbara Ann. Is there are a joke I'm missing about Allen?

[FredCapp]

There's an old English balled called "Barbara Allen" whose main story is about jilted lovers and realizing too late what has been lost.

You can hear a nice rendition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxQdl9cP3e0

I just filked it, that's all. Maybe I should translate it?

I just googled filking, I learned so much.

Malĝojigas min.

Ĝuste, ŝi ne havis la fortecon por vivi sen li. Do ambaŭ pli bonas nun.

… NNnnnnne!

[Fingtam]

Reminds me of Padme.

Ĉu estas iu ajn bona Esperanta sapoperoj?

[pat5005]

wouldn't "malvivi" be the word for "to die" rather than "morti"? I know a lot of words are formed in and of themselves without affixes, but still, it would make more sense to me if the sentence were as follows: Ŝi malvivis, ĉar li ne amis ŝin.

[FredCapp]

I'm certain that Zamenhof must have considered that. If you have occasion, at any Esperantaj kunvenoj, to discuss the issue, I'm certain that most Esperantists would understand you. However, try figuring out how to say undead. (Senmorta and Nemortema as well as ĉiamviva already exist to mean "immortal", BTW)

Looking at Butlers Esperanto - English dictionary, the entry under MORT with all of the affixes, etc, is pretty much a full column. The entry under VIV is just as long and already includes malvivi.

Keep up the good work, you are starting to think like an Esperantist.

This was a really good discussion to read, from a beginner Esperantist. :)
