I am also interested, because I wrote "The famous cook is interested and able". My dictionnary says "interesata" but explanations would be great. All I can say is that "-ata" is the 'participe présent passif' which I would translate as passive present participle.

I think you could say "interesiĝas", but I'm not sure.

So is "kapabla" a broad term?

Can I say "Ĉu vi kapablas renkonti min?"

Can "kapabla" also be used to mean "competent", or is there another word that better captures that shade of meaning?
