    Pardon me for the non-english characters. I simply forgot.

    Be the change (that) you wish to see in the world.

    (word-for-word:
    Estu la sxangxo ke vi deziras vidi en la mondo.

    I included "ke" (that), which was not actually in the English version where I found it. Do you suppose Gandhi was speaking English, or something else, when he first said (or wrote) it?

    In Esperanto, that that is necessary.

    I also debated whether to use deziri, or vidi. What do you think?

    Hi Rick,


    Pardon me for the non-english characters. I simply forgot.

    I could tell that's what that phrase was.. I guess latin, french and german under the belt for me helps (high school, some college).

    Be the change (that) you wish to see in the world.

    It sounds a lot like French, "Be the..." and from what I remember of Spanish, about the same..though French uses the verb a form of the verb etre there (sois)

    btw,How do you say "Bernie Sanders should take over the Democratic Primary and wipe out Hillary"? Lol.. sorry, I'm a real bernie fan. <g>

    Take care,
    Janis

    You have a background in English, French, German, Latin? Yup-- you're already most of the way to Esperantio (esperanto-land).


    Anyway, to point:

    How to esperantize:
    "Bernie Sanders should take over the Democratic Primary and wipe out Hillary" --Janis Kracht

    There are some judgement calls in here, this is what I make of it:

    I'd copy the names verbatim, not esperantize them. Word order can be kept the same, no need here to rearrange it. In two places, two words of english can be replaced by one (compound) word of esperanto,
    in one place a word of english is replaced by two of esperanto.

    should devus
    take over ekregi (ek: (suddenly?) begin regi: to rule) the la
    Democratic Demokrata
    Primary Primara Balotado (balloting)
    and kaj (rhymes with English "sky")
    wipe out forvisxi (visxi for: wipe away)

    "sx" above, is a kludge for the (single) letter which looks like an "s" with a "^" over it.
    It's pronounced like english "sh". (UTF-8 has the esperanto characters, Fido Echoes don't).

    Yup-- you're already most of the way to Esperantio (esperanto-land).

    I 've read that the man who started Esperanto L. L. Zamenhf chose to take his vocabulary from Romance and Germanic languages.. no wonder I can sometimes make
    a little sense of it at least <g>.. German is probably my weakest though.. Most
    of my studies were in French and Latin.

    ps: One thing I'm sure we can agree on, is we should do what we can to fix the electoral process so the Hillarys and Donalds cannot use fear of each other to steal votes from the Garys and Jills.

    ps: Ni certe agrablus ke ni sxuldus fari kion eblas malpermesi la Hillary-oj kaj Donald-oj ne povas uzi timon de unu la alio en ordo sxteli vocxdonojn de la

    (My Keyboard does not do the Umlauts)

    Punctuation like .,;? etc., do like English for now.

    The six special Esperanto characters that are not in English, use an X after the matching letter.

    So:

    cx, gx, hx, jh, sh, ux

    There are other ways of dealing with it, but I believe this one works best.

    The character set is discussed in detail in some of our earliest messages in ESPOMEN, going back to 2010. Look for the word "Alfabeto" or "Alphabet" in the subject line. In case your local Echo source doesn't keep older messages, last
    time I looked on the Espomen home, they were all here from the beginning (thanks, Janis!)

    ...
    And Welcome to Esperantio! (Esperantoland). Good Start!
    I'll finish translating your subject and opening for you. Don't worry if it seems like a lot to absorb all at once, take it at your own pace, it'll come to
    you eventually. I could break it down in detail on each point, but at new beginner level, that would be like several lessons all at once.

    The people of Maine are now in the process of confirming their recent orders to
    their public servants, to change the voting system to Ranked Choice Voting (also known as Instant Runoff Voting).

    When that passes (again), the DnR will not be so easily able to steal votes, by
    scaring voters into wasting their votes on only DnR candidates, instead of somebody they actually want (or at least prefer).

    Details here:
