If I were to be a nincumpoop (or however that title is corretly spelt), and create a word along the lines of "angloglossophobia", but in Esperanto, would "anglalingvotimo" be correct or "anglolingvotimo"? (or is timo out of place here? I'm hesitant to use the neologistic "fobio")

"Anglolingvotimo" has one two many o's, while "anglalingvotimo" just seems inconsistent with it's a's and o's. So the whole "go on how it sounds" method isn't working for me in this case lango.gif.

Mmm, mi pensis pri tio, sed "anglotimo" povus signifi "timo de angloj", ĉu ne? Mi nur volas uzi "_____-lingvotimo", do ne estas akcidenta akuzo de rasismo rideto.gif.

Mmm, I was thinking about that, but "anglophobia" could mean "fear of englishmen", couldn't it? I only want to use "_____-glossophobia", so there isn't an accidental accusation of racism.

The correct form is anglalingvotimo because it's a "vortigo" of la angla lingvo + timo. For the same reason, one talks about anglalingva teksto.

Dankon ridulo.gif That link was helpful, so essentially it's not so much that -o- is preferred to breakup the different words in a "frazetvorto" but that the o's and a's are placed in there depending on the overall meaning and role of the various words in the original "frazeto"?

I would use anglalingvofobio, because we are talking about something abnormal. But fobio pri la angla might be more readable. Why coin a large compound word? Would that not be a germanismo? rido.gif

Hey, I once used the even longer word supersignanstataŭigmetodoj - THAT's a Germanism. lango.gif

Hey hey, germanismoj and frazetoj both have their roles in a sentence - I for one wouldn't want to put in a frazeto when I already have one too many prepositions lying around okulumo.gif
Thank god for Esperanto's flexibility nonetheless!

Se vi estas esperantistoj kaj volas subteni gxin kial vi ne diskutas en esperanta lingvo-mi estas novulino cxi tie kaj havas opinion ke mi estas en angla pagxo-por mi tre strange-se tiu estas cxefa pagxo poe ellerni esperanto-do uzu gxin kaj ankaux lingvohelpantoj povas partopreni plue
