Hey, everybody.

I've recently attempted to learn Esperanto and it's great fun. But I can't seem to grasp the usage of 'iĝ' in verbs. How do you use it and what does it mean? Thanks in advance!

Iĝi means 'to become'. So it is used to change verbs that involving acting on something, to verbs that involve just 'becoming'. For example, fini means to finish something. and finiĝi means simply to end (as a film might). Similarly with komenci, 'to start'. Naski means to give birth as mothers do, and naskiĝi means to be born.

So, if I understand well (and I do hope so), finiĝi has the same meaning as: "to become finished", which is the same as 'to end'?

Would 'to become a student' be: studentiĝi? I'm just asking to make sure I understand well and to play with the language itself. ridulo.gif

Thank you very much for your reply! rideto.gif

Yes, you're right. You're making progress!

In het Nederlands kun je het verschil tussen de twee werkwoorden vaak herkennen aan de voltooide tijd:
ik heb (iets) gestopt - mi ĉesis (ion)
iets is gestopt - io ĉesiĝis
ik heb (iets) gedraaid - mi turnis (ion)
ik ben gedraaid - mi turniĝis

In Dutch the difference between passive and active use of verbs can often be recognised by the couple verb that is used in the perfect tense, as you can see in the above examples.
