I think it would be nice to conjugate Esperanto verbs based on the person, but it wouldn't be required. Here is my example of how the present tense would look, with a new pronoun (ti, based on the Latin word "tu", Spanish word "tú", etc.) added for the singular form of you.
My example verb is "fari":

Mi faram
Ti farat
Li/ŝi/ĝi faras
Ni faran
Vi farav
Ili faral

Here's the past tense:
Mi farim
Ti farit
Li/ŝi/ĝi faris
Ni farin
Vi fariv
Ili faril

I hope you like this idea! I'll be shocked if anyone uses this system.

If you had posted this before this forum had died, a sever shitstorm would be raging now.

Yes, I'm too lazy, too, to start explaining how shitty this proposal is...

Nevertheless: Let's talk about this right after you have successfully introduced the same personal conjugation in English.

Oh jes, i'm very fond of this. Why shouldn't we discuss also a new vocabulary: Substantive based statuses !

abro - undefined tree
smurbo - small tree
grebro - big tree
trebro - not so big a tree
obra - old tree, female
yburus - young tree. male
metorin - tree older than me
matoran - tree younger than me
insobru - ill tree
winyrub - a tree in winter without leaves, bowed with winter storms

would be very funny thing

"but it wouldn't be required"

mi faras, would be translated by a machine as "I does, I makes..." senkulpa.gif

Proposals to make Esperanto more complicated are always welcome.

Maybe it could be "fara" when not using my system, but that wouldn't work for commands/conditionals.

When I started learning esperanto a few days ago, I was enjoying the few grammar rules there were.
Just like Vestitor said, to add this rule to the language would make it even more complicated, although it could create some fun rimes to make in poetry.

esperanto actually has an equivalent of tú! it's ci. though as i understand it, ci is only used when translating from a language with a formality distinction.

with respect to your new conjugations, they certainly are creative! but even if they are pretty obviously related to the pronoun a lot of people would be lost with them, i think, especially if they aren't mandatory to learn at first.
