PrimeMinisterK:Probably nothing, but Google does. It customises searches on several criteria, among those the language setting of the browser you are searching with. I bet ours are different Therefore when searching with Google exact number is not important but the magnitude differences are (in my case 1990 vs. 1230 vs. 8590).
You say you Googled and got X number of hits. For instance, 8590 for "Dankon pro la informo." I did the same and got over 136,000 results. What are we doing different?
PrimeMinisterK:The "problem" is that English has three verb forms ending with -ing: gerund, participle and deverbal noun.
"Atentigo" seems like a strange word to me. It's apparently translated as "drawing attention." That sounds like an action, not a noun.
- gerund: I like dancing : Mi ŝatas danci.
- participle: Are you watching tele? : Ĉu vi rigardas la televidon?
- deverbal noun: Loud shouting makes me angry. : Laŭta kriado kolerigas min.

Metsis:The "problem" is that English has three verb forms ending with -ing: gerund, participle and deverbal noun.Thanks for the info.
I think that the translation "drawing attention" falls into the last category, i.e. "drawing" is a noun derived from a verb. In any case Esperanto nouns ending in -igo and -ado often get translated into such deverbal nouns in English.
- gerund: I like dancing : Mi ŝatas danci.
- participle: Are you watching tele? : Ĉu vi rigardas la televidon?
- deverbal noun: Loud shouting makes me angry. : Laŭta kriado kolerigas min.
It seems you know a lot technical information about grammar. Do you work professionally in some related field?
