Am I the only one who smiles when seeing the sentence: "Kiel vi fartas" or "mi fartas tre bone"
Because a lot of Esperanto words are similar to english, hearing the word "fartas" makes me think of something else.
Everytime I see or hear this it sounds funny to me.

Alkanadi:Warning: This post may be considered extremely immature.Well, from now on, some readers of your post might think the same, just because you mentioned it.

But, in a more biological sense, if your digestion is working ok ("you are farting well", that's what you are thinking of, isn't it?), wouldn't you suspect that the whole body is healthy?
Until now I had read the "fartas bone" more like a "I am making good" = "I feel / am good" but that is because I had the French "fairer" for "making, doing" in mind. As I said, until now.

beurre_cru:..."you are farting well", that's what you are thinking of, isn't it?...Yes. That is exactly what I thought.
...As I said, until now.
Kiel vi fartas = How are you farting
Mi fartas bone = I am farting well
Now you will always laugh when people ask you how you are doing. At least everyone will view you as a happy and positive person.

If you really want to be funny in Esperanto say Kiel vi farsas instead of Kiel vi fartas.

Rejsi:Alkanadi, have you learned the word "peni" yet? Its past tense may amuse you.Yah, that is another one that looks funny. At least it has a different sound than the English word.

Alkanadi:I'd say a properly pronouced fartas is no less different sounding, especially if you roll the r.Rejsi:Alkanadi, have you learned the word "peni" yet? Its past tense may amuse you.Yah, that is another one that looks funny. At least it has a different sound than the English word.
