So, I'm a nerd. I'm a proud nerd. Frankly made up languages is a pretty nerdy thing to be into. Why then can I not find a word for nerd in our lovely made up language? I've looked in my dictionary at home and on lernu and got nothing. malgajo.gif

The humorous website "Neciklopedio" knows the word Nerdo, but I don't know if it's commonly used.

Well, I guess you use "Nerdo", since Nerd is itself a made-up word, presumably by Dr. Seuss.

But how about some Bonlingva experiment to esperantize it? How about "Troleganto"?

Oh, I was experimenting with expressing "Nerd" with what we already have in Esperanto. My understanding of the concept of "Nerd", um, is someone who is good at mental activity (knows a lot, not neccessarily inteligent) but bad at socialising, right?

So I was thinking about something like "Tro-leganto" (over reader) or "Trosciulo" (know-too-much). Like that. Any suggestion?

Some good sujestions, there are certainly many different types of nerd to describe. okulumo.gif

@ the main topic, Nerd insinuates (according to egalitarian me, at least) a deep, profound or specialised interest in a topic which makes the nerd more interested or knowledgeable about something than the standard citizen ("citizen"?! I think my minds gone a bit nerdy myself and I'm thinking of Half-Life 2 now!).

Anyway, what on earth could you use to describe all that in a word? "Mojosa" stands for "moderna, juna," and then something with "s", maybe the same could be done for nerd. Anyway we had this conversation before if you search for it, god knows where it is though lango.gif

In Reta-Vortaro there's the word "intelektulo", but it means intellectual rather than nerd. As the word nerd has originated as a derogatory name, maybe "intelektulaĉo" could be a more precise translation, it even sounds like the french for nerd: "intello".

Though, I don't think we nerds would like to be called "aĉaj", so other alternatives could be: sciuloj, lernemuloj,scizelotoj... or maybe nerdoj and gikoj.
