SALUTATIONS AND EXCLAMATIONS. exclamation may be regarded as the direct object of a verb which is not expressed; these words are put in the accusative Bonan matenon! Good morning! (I wish you "good morning.") Bonan nokton! Good night! (I wish you a "good night.") Multajn salutojn al via patro! (I send) many greetings to your father! Dankon! Thanks! (I give to you "thanks.") Cxielon! Heavens! (I invoke the "heavens.") WORD FORMATION. 116. The majority of roots have such a meaning that at least two kinds of words, and often three or four, may be formed from them by use of the general endings for verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs. (Each root will hereafter be quoted but once in the vocabularies, with a hyphen separating it from the ending with which it appears first in the reading lesson, or with which it is most frequently used.) Following are examples of word formation from roots already familiar: VERB. NOUN. ADJECTIVE. ADVERB. |
