Okay, I'm trying out what I'm learning about compounded words. I wish to express, "This evening is the costume party with a Wild West theme." How's this? Ĉi-vespere estos la kostum-festo kun sovaĝ-okcidenta temo. (Or would I perhaps use de instead?)
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

festo
Feto is something else entirely.
Other than that minor, and even kind of weirdly funny, detail, that's more or less how I'd write the sentence. I'd actually drop the hyphens everywhere except ĉi-vespere (kostumfesto, sovaĝokcidenta), but that's a stylistic choice on my part - your way is not wrong, nor is my way necessarily preferable.

Thanks for noting that. I corrected it. Erinja's suggestion of using vakera to describe the theme certainly makes sense, too. This language is so much fun!
