vidas = sees. vidas = watches?

vidas = sees, rigardas = watches.

Rigardas can also mean "looks at", right?

October 10, 2016

Yes, that's true.

Isn't "etulo" for baby more common or at least also acceptable?

August 29, 2015

I think "etulo" is used specifically for a toddler. "bebo" refers to an infant, or "baby".

Why is it bebon and not bebo?

March 4, 2019

Because it's the direct object of the verb vidas.

Like how in English I would say "I see him" and not "I see he" -- the thing seen is the direct object.

In Esperanto, the direct object (generally) gets a -n for the accusative case.

Hence, La knabo vidas la bebon.
