If I want to say that every noun finishes with O... Should I say

Ĉiu substantivo finiĝas kun "o"

Or

Ĉiu substantivo finiĝas en "o"

Or both are ok?

Dankon!

I can tell you that "kun" is definitely incorrect in this context, because "kun" implies "togetherness".

As for "en", I will leave it up to the more experienced Esperantists in the forum to comment.

I personally would use "en" too in this situation.

personally, i'd use je.
to me this is similar to the phrase "i believe in ghosts."
"i believe (in/about/of) ghosts."
mi kredas je fantomoj.
"every noun finishes (with/in/by means of) o"
ĉiu substantivo finiĝas je o.

if not je, i suppose per could work.
ĉiu substantivo finiĝas per o.

I agree with sproshua: "je" is the best choice.

Mi uzus la per. Ĉiu substantivo finiĝas per o. La laŭsence proksima ekzemplo: plenigi botelon per akvo.

"O" finigas substantivon. Tial substantivo finiĝas per "o".
"O" makes end of nouns. So, nouns are ended by "o".

It is most definitely "per", but "je" should also work. It answers the question "Per kio finiĝas substantivo?"

Hmm got it, thanks!

sproshua:if not je, i suppose per could work.
Thanks! (Also thanks to hilex), I'm still learning and hadn't gone through per or je...

sergejm:"O" finigas substantivon
Also thought of that, but it felt like running away from the issue, heh =P

kaŝperanto:It answers the question "Per kio finiĝas substantivo?"
Interesting, it didn't occur to me to think what question that would be answering (if it were a question...) Thanks too!!

Use per, like Zamenhof:

Fundamenta Krestomatio:ĉar ĉiu substantivo en la nominativo finiĝas per “o” — sekve frat’o;
