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!
bye!

Would 'to become a student' be: studentiĝi? I'm just asking to make sure I understand well and to play with the language itself.
Thank you very much for your reply!

patrick_27: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'?Yes, you're right. You're making progress!

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.
