"Monta deklivo ne estas bona loko por bieno."

Translation: A mountain slope is not a good place for a farm.

[thraenthraen]

Unless it's a terrace farm (terasa bieno?):

[RaizinM]

I think "terasa bieno" is correct. The Esperanto Wikipedia article of teraso (found here) mentions the agricultural meaning of the word.

[FredCapp]

My family is from Norway. Virtually every farm is on a mountain slope.

[dema90]

Would it be possible to form another word for slope out of existing roots?
I mean we have already:

klino = tilt, incline

ejo = place

suben = downwards

any ideas anyone?

[RaizinM]

Lernu.net's dictionary gives the alternative option "malsuprenirejo". It's malsupren (downwards) + iri (to go) + -ejo (place), so a place that goes downwards.

I guess subenirejo would also be a possibility.

[qubist]

The thing is a slope usually goes both down and up, depending on which way you're traveling.

[consultjohan]

montodeklivo

[dema90]

well, that's indeed an option, very similar though. I was more looking for something without "deklivo".

[Renardo_11]

“Oblikvejo” (oblikva = slanted) might be a possibility. But it does not seem to be widely used at all, and oblikva can refer to a deviation from the vertical as well as from the horizontal.

“Klinejo” is also somewhat ambiguous as *klini' does not only mean “to tilt” but also “to bend (sth) down,” “to bow (sth).”

So there seem to be good reasons for the root “dekliv-.”

[deactivated user]

Says who? I think that a mountain slope would be an excellent place for a farm.

[Raztastic]

Farmisto = farmer, sed ĉu bieno = farm? Kial ne diras "farmejo"?

[srtokes]

Laux lernu.net, farmo povas signifi "farm". Do, vi ete pravas.

@Raztastic, for a good explanation and history about "bieno", see this discussion from the Duolingo EO Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/duolingo.esperanto.learners/permalink/531338803694808/

[Raztastic]

Dankon. Jes, tio estas kion mi pensis. Ĝi estas arkaika koncepto.

[EranWhetst]

Should "hillside" be accepted for "monta deklivo"?

[Robert918848]

I would say no, it shouldn't be accepted. A better translation for "hill" is monteto.

[Amikemulo]

Bonvolu klarigi por mi la vorton: "deklivo"

[Renardo_11]

It consists of dekliv+o. If you are asking whether “dekliv-” is composed, it's not.

[GeorgeChri15]

I don't understand why this is a adjective noun construction. Would a car door be an auta pordo? The front door of a house, doma pordo? I could understand something like a fire door, metala pordo. The meaning of the sentence suggests that slope is modifying mountain.

[draquila]

In English we use the noun to modify another noun. You can't do that in Esperanto, so the noun must become an adjective.

[kanguruo]

Yes doma pordo, etc are very good sentences.

[EranWhetst]

monta deklivo=montodeklivo,
doma pordo=dompordo,
auxta pordo=auxtpordo

[Robbadob]

Ĉu vi povas diri "montdeklivo" anstataŭ montodeklivo?

[Renardo_11]

From the audio I cannot tell whether it's “monta deklivo” or “montodeklivo” (listening exercise).
