"Rigardu, estas ankoraŭ unu peco da ĉokolado en la skatolo."

Translation: Look, there is still one piece of chocolate in the box.

Ne por longe! @.@

In case anybody is wondering, I would expect the course - for sentences like this one only - to accept da or de.

I just read the linked article, and since it doesn’t specifically refer to it, I assume you mean:

• Rigardu, estas ankoraŭ unu peco da ĉokolado en la skatolo.: there were several pieces of chocolate, and maybe you thought they were all gone, but if you look, you’ll see there’s one left.

• Rigardu, estas ankoraŭ unu peco de ĉokolado en la skatolo.: there were several things in the box, including chocolate, and there’s still a piece of chocolate left—perhaps it was the only piece of chocolate that was ever in the box with other things. (Or in this case, maybe “a piece of the chocolate” would be better. And in fact, you can say …*de la ĉokolado, too, but you can’t ever say …*da la ĉokolado.)

Correct?

And so, you’d offer someone “pecon de ĉokolado?”, not “pecon da ĉokolado?”, but maybe then if they said jes, you’d offer “unu pecon da ĉokolado, aŭ du?”

It all comes down to whether you're saying there's a piece in the box or chocolate in the box.

[ThatOneDoge]

Why would you point that out?!

[Majklo_Blic]

Brownie points.

(See what I did there?

Because, y'know, brownies are chocolate.

Just... pointing that out.)

[ThatOneDoge]

Haha, I actually didn't need the Urban Dictionary for once! :P

Nice. I s'pose that makes sense.

[Aramande]

Mi ne vidas iom da ĉokolado. (manĝi)

Why not "See, there's still one piece of chocolate in the box"?

[Rae.F]

Because in English, prefacing a sentence with "Look" vs "See" means different things and they are not interchangeable.

Look, there is still one piece of chocolate in the box conveys a sense of discovery and appreciation.

See, there is still one piece of chocolate in the box conveys a sense of "I told you so; now do you believe me?" or "That's why I said the other thing I said."

[Takijana]

"See" would be "vidu".

Why I can't say a piece instead of 1 or one piece?

Ankoraŭ usually go before the word it modifies, so how is it modifying unu here? I would want to put ankoraŭ before ne.

[salivanto]

It might make sense to learn this as a set phrase:

• ankoraŭ unu - another, yet another, one more

I'm not convinced that the English translation given above is correct:

• "Rigardu, estas ankoraŭ unu peco da ĉokolado en la skatolo."
• Look, there is still one piece of chocolate in the box.

I might have said "there is another piece".

how is it modifying unu here

It answer the question "how many".

How many - still one.
