Sounds as if they were talking about some oldest woman in the village whose tears for her long lost husband (disappearing at the age of 30 as he set off on adventure) can cause miracles! lango.gif.

another question - what does "sambeca" mean?

mnlg (Покажи профила) 07 август 2011, 12:31:34

I would say 'akin to Samba' (the dance).
samb/o is the Esperanto word for the dance.

what exactly does the suffix "-adi" mean? like in the word "venadi"?

mnlg (Покажи профила) 09 август 2011, 16:24:11

The suffix -ad- conveys the meaning of existence or happening in a given time; it highlights the process, more than the action itself. "Danco" is dance, as in the abstract form of art; "dancado" is dancing, actually moving to the sound of music, etc.

"Traduko" is a translation; "tradukado" is the process by which you create a translation.

I would use "venadi" to mean the arrival of several individuals within a given time, possibly long or longer than expected. For example "La kongresanoj venadis al la koncertejo", the participants moved inside the concert hall (and this movement took some time to complete). If I were to say "la kongresanoj venis al la koncertejo", I wouldn't offer any particular specification of how long it took for them to come, I would merely state a fact.

Sometimes -ad- strenghtens the word root. For example "faradi" means "to strive".

This is the way I usually explain this suffix to my Italian students (it's not the easiest to understand for many of them). Maybe a native English speaker can offer a better explanation.

mnlg:"tradukado" is the process by which you create a translation.
Or the translation process, for different wording. Or translating (as a series of processes, just referring to translation work in general, etc).
