promeni – to go for a walk
flava – yellow
sunbrilo – sunshine
blua – blue
ĉielo – sky

Mi amas la sunbrilo flava kaj la ĉielo bula kiam mi promenas. – I love the yellow sunshine and the blue sky when I go for a walk.

But they’re big ones…

daûrigebla evoluo—sustainable development

literally: development (evolu’) which makes it possible (ebl’) to make things (ig’) endure (daŭr’)

baloneto—balloon (of the type carried by a child, literally “small balloon”)

No sentence today!

biciklo - bicycle! :)

oranĝo – orange
suko – juice
arto – art

(I guess these are easy ones today :))

Ŝi kreas atro per oranĝsuko! – She creats art using orange juice!

kuketo – cupcake (“small cake”)
bildo – picture
fotografilo/fotilo – camera (“photograph tool”)

Li uzis fotilon lian por la bildo de la kuketoj. – He used his camera for the picture of the cupcakes.

katido = kitten (cat-child)
krakeno = (hard) pretzel
adiaŭ = good-bye!

Saluton! La katido manĝas la krakenon. Adiaŭ!

means hello!

Also, filmo = movie, and kinejo = cinema.

Saluton! Ti volus vidi filmo ĉe la kinejo?

= Hello! Would you like to see a movie with me at the cinema?

poŝtelefono—cell phone (“pocket telephone”)
bonvolu—please (“good-will”)
ne dankinde—you’re welcome (“not thanks-worthy”)

- Bonvolu, min telefonu en la somero! (Please, telephone me in the summer!)
- Mi volis! (I will!)
- Dankon!
- Ne dakinde!

I got an idea, I will choose one word (or a small set of words) a day, and use it in my daily conversation, in order to learn it. (Vocab is the hardest part, Esperanto grammar is easy-peasy.) Today was “dankon”, meaning, “thank you” (a very useful phrase!). Tomorrow will be the seasons (la sezonoj): printempo, somero, aŭtuno, kaj vintro!

And guess what was one of the ten the first time I went there?

Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) – griza sciuro
