Wait, what happened to this English-language thread?

That was exactly what I tried to say, but probably because of my bad esperanto nobody will understand my intention. okulumo.gif

Actually your Esperanto was fine and I understood it. ridulo.gif

That was my fault. I initially just wanted to translate 'you've got a point' into E. and then forgot it was the English Forum. Vere, foje, oni ne konscias en kiu lingvo oni skribas.

Very interesting, it's great to think outside the box sometimes. Esperanto is, unfortunately, just a simple mixture of european languages (sounds a bit mean, doesn't it?) and adopts the habits of these languages, so you will always suffer from a tunnel vision. Anyway, thank you for the information.

But this is OK, as in this forum it has already been exlained, that Esperanto was designed for both an intellectual and economical elite, and not for people who "live in the Amazonian jungle" or "scratch a living" (I was quite shocked to learn this.)
Who ever wrote that is an elitist. I have never read that before. That is a very "malzamenhofa ideo".

Whether Esperanto (or any natural language) comes easy to you or not, depends on how far the learned language is from the languages you already know.
While similarity of vocabulary is a huge help for the beginner, simplicity and predictability are the most important afterwards. The rules can be as alien as you like: if you can apply them, they become familiar.
