Hi,

I was just wondering, are there Esperanto synonyms for farti?

For example, are there alternative ways of asking "Kiel vi fartas?" or responding "Mi fartas bone."? I know about shortening the phrase to "Kiel vi?" but that is not what I mean, is there another Esperanto verb that could be used?

Thanks!

Ryan

In the same spirit, french would like to find alternative way to say "mi petas"

Haha! Neniu volas pensi, ke ili estas diranta "furzi"!

Tired of people making fun of you for saying "Fart-ass" (fartas), "Boney" (Bone), and "Shat-ass" (sxatas)?

Yeah, me too. D;

If you pronounce the words correctly as ['fartas], ['bɔnɛ], and ['ʃatas], there should be no confusion.

Instead of farti you could say stati.

Just get used to it and say "farti".

"Kiel vi statas" sounds weird, people don't generally say that. Part of learning a foreign language is getting used to sounds that may come out to say something funny in your own language.

The Esperanto word "maldikulo" (a thin person) sounds like it says "butt pain" in Italian ('mal di culo' ).

Yeah, my son and I laughed til we hurt when I first said fartas ridulo.gif He doesn't know any other Esperanto yet, but loves to say Mi fartas bone ridulo.gif

Well, it's been a week and we're not laughing quite as hard, lol! We'll get there ridulo.gif (and hey, laughter is good for you, right? ridulo.gif )

Oh . . . this is an Enlish topic.
Don't know how I got that confused.

Nile, actually your sentence would not have made as much sense in English ridulo.gif

You have a good point, thanks.
