legendofzara that is kind of sort of.... There are 16 rules that guarantee mutual understanding and are imutable, the living esperanto actually has many rules that appearead as people started using it. It still is waaay simpler than most languages, and if you know these 16 rules you pretty much start learning by talking.

I'm from the city in which Zamenhoff lived and he is an important figure in his native city. He was born in thr part of Poland which was occupied by Russia, and so there were Polish people, Jewish people, some Russian people and other groups in the region. He thought they a better understanding between these groups which all speak different languages would improve the relations between these groups. That's a very noble idea, to allow every human to communicate with others and have a mutual understanding of each other.

"The place where I was born and spent my childhood gave direction to all my future struggles. In [my hometown] Białystok the inhabitants were divided into four distinct elements: Russians, Poles, Germans and Jews; each of these spoke their own language and looked on all the others as enemies. In such a town a sensitive nature feels more acutely than elsewhere the misery caused by language division and sees at every step that the diversity of languages is the first, or at least the most influential, basis for the separation of the human family into groups of enemies. I was brought up as an idealist; I was taught that all people were brothers, while outside in the street at every step I felt that there were no people, only Russians, Poles, Germans, Jews and so on. This was always a great torment to my infant mind, although many people may smile at such an 'anguish for the world' in a child. Since at that time I thought that 'grown-ups' were omnipotent, so I often said to myself that when I grew up I would certainly destroy this evil." Ludwik Lazarus Zamenhof

A few notes. Krokodili, to "crocodile", isn't when speaking another language to an Esperantist. It's to speak another language when Esperanto would be the preferred language. So say you were at an Esperanto convention, but speaking French. You would be crocodiling. But if you were speaking French in day to day conversation with a French speaker who also spoke Esperanto you wouldn't be crocodiling. There is a less common term, aligatori or to alligator, which is the opposite say like speaking Esperanto in a French class, though I've never actually heard it used in conversation. Esperanto was never meant to be someone's first or primary language. It was meant to be an auxiliary language to be used when the speakers didn't share a common native language. Because it's pretty easy to learn, very regular, and uses sounds common in most world languages it was supposed to be an easy go between. And it DID succeed at that, however briefly. For a while it looked to be turning into the common scientific language instead of Latin, French or English. For some time many scientific papers were published both in their native language and in Esperanto. It was also gaining traction as a language of international affairs and was the nearly the national language of a short-lived country, Neutral Moresnet. Moresnet, now known as Kelmis, was never recognized as independent and eventually was annexed by Belgium. It's still home to a lot of Esperantists. Somewhere along the line Esperanto got a reputation for being affiliated with Communism and for opposing nationalist movements though the broader Esperantist population has never been affiliated with any political movement. As such Esperantists were targeted and some even died in the holocaust specifically for speaking the language. Between that and the rise of English as a lingua franca, Esperanto lost a lot of what prestige it once had.

"Amuza fakto". His Esperanto is pretty good, but he makes frequent minor errors in grammar and pronunciation. Especially noticeable: When he's talking about the letter that each part of speech ends with, he uses the English names of the vowels. Adjectives end in A: he says "ey" (sounds like the name of E in Esperanto) instead of "ah". Adverbs end in E: he says "ee" (the Esp. name of letter "I") instead of "eh".

What I don't get the most about Esperanto is how its proponents believe that it - whose grammar and etymology are pretty much entirely based on those of European tongues - is the one best fit for being a universal language. Like, I'm not that much of a polyglot, but I'm pretty sure that not all languages are European.

+Alexolas They will argue that it`s still the simplest language. Which it very well might be, BUT being the simplest doesn`t mean it`s the easiest to learn. Filipino is a fairly simple language, but the grammar mindf**ks me because it is so different from an indo-european language. Similarity to your native language is a big factor. They will also claim that the word order is not fixed, so speakers of different languages can speak with syntax that is natural for them. Not very true, in my opinion. At least not from the point of view of someone who has studied Japanese, Arabic, Filipino, and other non-Indoeuropean languages. If Esperanto became the global lingua franca, it would be spoken like a pidgin language with non-indo european grammar by the majority of people, in my estimation. With that said, Esperanto is cool and fun to learn. And it has advantages over English. But English has lots of momentum and Esperanto has very little.

I personally am more a fan of something like Lojban being a lingua franca. Have you heard of it? It's another conlang, invented in 1987, designed primarily with the intent of creating a completely semantically unambiguous language. It has several interesting properties, such as its attitudinals, how articles work, and the semantics of the single noun-verb-adjective-adverb Swiss army part of speech that is the selbri. The main reason why I think Lojban is good for this purpose is because of the way that the basic vocabulary came about. This, I think, is the best possible algorithm with which to make the vocabulary of an IAL: Essentially, for each concept Lojban's creators wanted a root word for, they picked an analogous word from each of the six most commonly spoken languages at the time of its creation - Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic - then have a computer identify a word which has the most shared phonemes with the source words, with preference towards the more commonly-spoken languages. The idea behind this was that each word would be a sort of like the 'average' phrase each language associates with the concept. Also, hi.

It's probably not the best one imaginable, but it's the best one we have. If someone comes with a language that's better, I will gladly invest a few hundred hours in learning it. However, I'm convinced that anyone who has the education, intelligence and modesty to create a better language will be smart enough to not do so before and unless Esperanto has dozens of millions of users as proof that such a language is needed.

"esperanto" is actually an Esperanto compound word (kunmetaĵo) and means "someone who's hoping". It's built from these parts: esper·i = to hope -​ant​- = present active participle, similar to "(am / is / are) ...-ing" in English -o = Ending for nouns. Together with "-ant-", it implies a person "performing" the action (to hope). Dr. Zamenhof originally called the language he developed "la Internacia Lingvo" (the International Language) and published it pseudonymously under his pen name "Dr. Esperanto". But quite early on, "Esperanto" was adopted as the name of the language itself.

Love this channel, been devouring every video! Keep up the great work!

There are in fact studies that show that studying Esperanto first and then a second language is more efficient than studying the second language alone. Probably because it helps understanding the language basics common to all languages, and maybe also because learning an easy language boosts one's self-confidence. While it's true it's unlikely to meet an Esperantist out of pure luck, if one is interested to meet one IRL it is very easy to do so. I have tried Pasporta Servo for example, which is some kind of couchsurfing for Esperantists (it seems even way more reliable in my experience). I haven't spent much time learning Esperanto, and in fact when I met my first Esperantist I had stopped practicing Esperanto for around 10 years. Nevertheless, we could communicate pretty well. I suggest anyone to try and learn it for just 20 hours (1/2h each day for 6 weeks, for instance). It's largely enough to get an operational level of the language and decide if you like it, and want to go further or not. Even if you stop there and never use it afterwards, it will give you a refreshing idea of language and communication efficiency, and help you structure your mind for any other language learning. (I recommend LERNU website for people interested in learning Esperanto.)

From my understanding of French and Latin, I got most of what you said without subtitles. I will definitely look more into this!

I'm learning Esperanto literally using one app that everyone knows very well, the green bird themselves.

English is really not a good language to be the lingua franca. Grammar and pronunciation are very difficult and erratic. This is probably because English is kind of in-between of Germanic and Romance language groups. Same is true in the case of French as well. Esperanto, being an artificial language, has very little rules and no exceptions or irregularities.

+Brilliant Sun A better lingua Franca could be Esperanto. Shit, it is a really very simple language. While watching this video I understood like 35% of words and they main thing is - I've heard it for the first time. So you can understand an Esperanto speaker without any knowledge of it. I'm the native speaker of Russian and English is a real problem for non-Europeans. Pronoun cation is hard, some shit like Present Perfect Continuous(or even more miserable things), that makes English not the best. And yeah. Once our teacher said, that after learning English, it's very hard to learn some other and that's true! Every other language looks like an impossible one to learn, so the best way make like of children easier - just teach them some Lang like Spanish and then teach English, because after that, other languages are not so hard(especially when the grammar is shared). Knowledge of Russian and English makes it hard for me to learn other European languages, and that's sad.Th for reading!

@@iliatchaplinski the problem with this is choosing a rare language two problems arise, its difficult to learn since your probably learning a whole new structure since the language is from a different family, or said rare language is just a side language thats very similar to something else. for example frisian is a rare language, however speakers of dutch or german if listening carefully can probably understand basic sentances. also depending on where you live people might not have the experience with other languages to understand it; in America few people (unless your in a southern state where mexican spanish leaks into the culture) speak the related languages that make up Esperanto so they couldn't understand it anyways. and even if they did, if your fluent in Esperanto and speak fast and quiet they wouldnt undertand anyways since theyre most likely not listening closely.

My Esperanto lessons have helped me to improve my French, even though I've only been learning it casually on Duolingo. Learning Esperanto has also helped me to gain confidence in starting conversations in French with native French speakers as well (something I used to be very shy about). Not only that, the psychological payoff for learning a new language is huge, and it opens up an entire subculture of music, literature and art that I didn't even know existed.

Hi! I'm a Esperanto beginner. I've searched about "taga" and "tage", and I found that they actually mean "daytime" and "on a daytime basis" respectively. "Daily", being a synomym of "everyday", would be "ĉiutage". I'm a native Spanish speaker and all the vowels in Esperanto are exactly pronounced in the same way as we do. So, for example, "e" is always articulated like the Spanish "e" 😊 Just one sound, you'll never found any change in any of them! 😁 (oh, ok, but the "u" in Spanish in words like "que", "guiso", etc. without ¨) Nice to find a channel about languages in general!
