Kial ne "plena da ..."?

[PatriciaJH]

Da joins two nouns - the container and the contained. So I think it's boato da turistoj, but boato plena de turistoj. (The Wikipedia Esperanto grammar article says da "is semantically Slavic and is difficult for Western Europeans, to the extent that even many Esperanto dictionaries and grammars define it incorrectly," and then links to this very useful Wiktionary article on da: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/da#Esperanto

[paulmakepeace]

Very useful, thanks!

[Renardo_11]

I would prefer "quantity" instead of "container". A quantity may be defined by a container (sako da bombonoj = a bag of sweets) but also by a count (dekduo da ovoj = a dozen eggs) or a measurement (du litroj da vino = two liters of wine).

[salivanto]

Right - da is used with kiom and with expressions that can answer kiom.

Kio estas la malsamo de "boato" kaj "šipo"? Dankon!

[Cocio_16]

Mi ne scias. Sed mi scias ke la malo de "boato" estas "malboato".

It's simple: If somebody who knows what they're talking about calls it a ship, it's a ship. Likewise, if somebody who knows what they're talking about calls it a boat, it's a boat.

Despite all the rules of thumb that you may hear, the real answer is that traditions determine when to use boat or ship, and traditions have little respect for rules.

Sed tio estas tradicio de la angla, mi ne komprenas kial ĝi eniris en Esperanto.

what's the difference between afabla, agrabla, and ĝentila?

[uSiuHung]

afabla - kind , affable ;
agrabla - pleasant , enjoyable ;
gxentila - polite , courteous

[mastersword83]

Kial ne "plena je"?

[salivanto]

I would expect the course to accept this if it were to be reported.

the boat fly?

[kmile1]

"Bateaux Mouches translates literally as "fly boats" ("fly" meaning the insect); however, the name arose because they were originally manufactured in boatyards situated in the Mouche area of Lyon."
