NOUNS.

10. Words which are the names of persons or things are called nouns.
The ending, or final letter, of nouns in Esperanto is "o":

knabo = boy. pomo = apple.
cxevalo = horse. tablo = table.


THE ARTICLE.

11. The definite article is "la", the, as "la knabo", the boy, "la
cxevalo", the horse, "la tablo", the table, "la pomo", the apple. In
English there is an indefinite article "a, an" for the singular, but
none for the plural. Esperanto has no indefinite article for either
singular or plural. Therefore "knabo" may mean "boy", or "a boy", "pomo"
may mean "apple" or "an apple".


ADJECTIVES

12. A word used with a noun (expressed or understood) to express
a quality or characteristic is called an adjective. The ending of
adjectives in Esperanto is "a":

bela = beautiful. granda = large.
flava = yellow. forta = strong.
