Is there a way to express this in EO? Perhaps with an esperantizing form of Eureka

opalo:You could just say Eŭreka! or Heŭreka!...you can? are we allowed to mix foreign expressions into the language?
that means that arabs can mix in the expression "imbella" when speaking esperanto?

Alkanadi:you can? are we allowed to mix foreign expressions into the language?It depends on your audience, your subject, the googlability of the expression.
Usually it's best to look for fundamental equivalents, but in many situations those may baffle more than the original.

Kirilo81:Of course not, but [url=https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eŭreka]Eŭreka[/url] is a real internationalism, so part of Esperanto by §15 of the Fundamental Grammar.You have posted 1234 times. just a random observation

Alkanadi:You have posted 1234 times. just a random observationOh, nice, thanks for the attention, and I'm sorry I have to spoil this nice number now. :/
And I'm sorry, but your last post left me a bit perplexed:
Alkanadi:How is it pronounced in Esperanto?Do you seriously ask how to pronounce a word in a language where "every word is spoken as it is written"? (H)Eŭreka can only be [(h)ɛʊ'rɛka]
Alkanadi:Shouldn't it be pronounced and spelled like this: JurikaThis is very biased as you count only the English pronounciation. In German we pronounce the word ['hɔɪʀeka], the original Ancient Greek pronounciation was ['(h)ɛ(·)ʊ'rɛ:ka], which is quite near to the one of Esperanto.
