I'm working my way through a sci-fi book in Esperanto called "NASKIĜO DE LA RUSTIMUNA ŜTALRATO" which can be found here : http://esperanto-ondo.ru/Rato01.htm

One of the sentences goes like this : — Ne hodiaŭ, lamanta ladulo!

lama = lame
-anta = ( "...ing" )

So lamanta would be translated to laming? Or do you know a better translation?
Ladulo I can't find explanation of so any ideas?

Regards,

Fredrik

Does the ladulo refer to some robot? Ladulo = tin man.

Ne hodiaŭ, lamanta ladulo! Not today, you spastic heap of metal!

You can take English original and compare.

Yes it is ridulo.gif

So does ladulo consist of any suffixes or wordparts?

sudanglo:Does the ladulo refer to some robot? Ladulo = tin man.

Ne hodiaŭ, lamanta ladulo! Not today, you spastic heap of metal!

Yes. Lad- = sheet metal, -ul = person, fellow. So a sheet metal person or fellow, a metal guy, therefore a somewhat slangish way to say robot.
