Key Concepts
Nouns
Nouns in Esperanto end with the suffix '-o' and are always singular unless specified.
Adjectives
Adjectives end with '-a' and agree in number and case with the nouns they modify.
Verbs

Plural Formation
To make nouns plural, add '-j' to the end of the noun.

The accusative case is marked by adding '-n' to the noun, indicating the direct object.
Examples
- → Libro (book), Libroj (books)
- → Bela (beautiful) libro (book), Belaj libroj (beautiful books)
- → Mi vidas la hundon (I see the dog)
Memory Tips
