mnlg:IIRC = If I remember correctly.

No computers here okulumo.gif
And I always thought it was a programming language like Javascript, I remember once going 'mm, I'd like to learn that script' but obviously that's impossible rideto.gif

I tried to drag and drop a smiling face but all I got was this:

javascript:aldonuMienon('sal')

Any Lernu geek out there who can help me?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Hi, Erinja and all.

From a purely grammatical point of view, I agree with Erinja.

But in a deeper sense, far beyond grammar, let me state something as clearly as possible:

Cats are lovely, and no one who considers them stupid can be good.javascript:aldonuMienon('sal')

Regards,

Daniel

erinja:You would have to say "Mi estas bona" and "La kato estas stulta".

"Bona" describes "me"; pronouns are grammatically treated as nouns, so you have to have an adjective to describe a noun. Similarly, the cat is being described in the second sentence. A cat is also a noun, so you have to describe it with an adjective. All Esperanto adjectives end in -a, so you'd need in -a ending either way.

If you wanted to describe the verb "estas", you would use an adverb, which is the -e ending. But describing "estas" doesn't actually make much sense. To describe the verb, you'd have to change the verb to have the sentence make much sense. Some choices might be "Mi fartas bone" (I fare well/ I am doing well/ I am well), or "La kato kondutas stulte" (the cat behaves stupidly)

Hah I would agree with you danielcg, but I'm allergic, so to me, cats are muy estupido ridego.gif (BUT THEY'RE SO CUTE! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE ALLERGIC?!).

Don't you just click the smily face? I never knew you could drag them! shoko.gif Cool!
