Also, how would you say "Pondering the Leviathan"?
Would "pripensi la leviathano" be correct?

(fakte en Esperanto mi neniam vidis "th" kiel
duopokonsonanto...)
Tial, via frazo iĝas "Pripensado Levjatanon".
Tamen mi ne scias klare ĉu via "pondering" estas nomo aŭ participo, ĉar Angle ĉi tiuj kvazaŭ samas...

Abii:Would "pripensi la leviathano" be correct?You could also say "primeditas la levjatanon" or "cerbumas pri levjatano".

Abii:Just wondering, what's the Esperanto word for "Leviathan"? Leviathano?I think that in this case I would translate "pripensi la levjatanon" as "to ponder the leviathan". How about "pripensadas la levjatanon"? I get the impression that the "pondering" is an ongoing action, therefore shouldn't you use the -ad- suffix?
Also, how would you say "Pondering the Leviathan"?
Would "pripensi la leviathano" be correct?

If you are talking about pondering the leviathan as in "The other day I was pondering the leviathan, and...", then you would say "mi primeditas la levjatanon".
"Mi meditas pri la levjatano" would work as well.
If, instead, you are talking about the act itself of pondering the leviathan, as in "Pondering the Leviathan is an important task", then, as a noun (gerund), it would be "(la) primeditado de la levjatano".
I think "(la) primedito de la levjatano" is also correct, although I think it has a somewhat different meaning (and one a little odd sounding): the ponder of the leviathan.
