abstract
| - Espio is a new conlang , derived from esperanto . Doctor Alinima made in 1015 an attempt to make it a simpler language, with few changes to vocabulary. Vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) are pronounced as in Spanish (approximately as ah, eh, ee, oh, and oo.) x = sh, c= ch, j = Jack Espio words are formed by taking one or more roots, modifiying them with one or more affixes, then adding grammatical endings. Description Word Meaning Root meaning "laugh" = rid No meaning Adding infinitive verb ending -i ridi To laugh Adding adjective ending -a rida Laughing (for example, "a laughing hyena" is rida hieno) Adding adjective ending -a Adding noun ending -o rido (A) laugh Adding noun ending -o and -ad affix meaning "repeated action" ridado Laughter (repeated laughs) Root meaning "mock/tease" mok No meaning Combining root for "mock" with root for "laugh", then adding infinitive verb ending -i mokridi (pri) To (mockingly) laugh (at) Nouns By themselves, nouns are indefinite (hundo means "a dog"). The definite particle is la (la hundo means "the dog"). Plural Singular nouns end in -o . The plural is formed by adding -y (forming -oy). hundo (a) dog hundoy (some) dogs la hundo the dog la hundoy the dogs Accusative case When a noun is the object of a verb phrase, it is put after the verb, with no change to noun. Hundo pelas kato . A dog is chasing a cat. Verb nouns However, espio is much more specific than English. Skribanto means "writer", but it specifically means "person who is writing now", not "person who writes professionally" (which would be skribisto). Passive verb nouns -ato One who is ...ed Amato One who is loved Adjectives All words ending in -a are adjectives. granda hundo (a) big dog La hundo havas ruja pilko. The dog has a red ball. La hundo havas pilko ruja. Verb adjectives -anta ...ing Paganta viro Paying man -ata being ...ed Pagata viro A man being paid Comparatives and Superlatives Comparatives are formed using pli (more) or min (less): pli bela - more beautiful min bela - less beautiful Superlatives are formed using pley (most) or mey (least): pley bela - most beautiful mey bela - least beautiful Pronouns Pronouns do not have a grammatical ending. Most end in -i . The accusative and Subjective forms are the same, except the accusative comes after the verb Mi I Vi You (singular and plural) Li He Xi She Ji It Ni We Ili They Oni One Tu Thou Oni means "one" in the sense of "how does one do that?" ("Kiel oni faras tio ?"). Possessive Possessive pronouns are simply adjectives formed from the pronouns by adding -a. Mia My/mine Via Your/yours Lia His Xia Her/hers Jia Its Nia Our/ours Ilia Their/theirs Onia One's Tua Thy/thine Mia hundo pelas via kato . My dog is chasing your cat. La blua pilkoj estas lia (pilkoy). The blue balls are his (balls). Reflexive The reflexive pronoun is si . Li amas si . He loves himself. If you said "Li amas li .", you would be saying "He loves him (some other guy)". Mi lavas mia manoy. I wash my hands If you said "Xi lavas xia manoy .", you would be saying "She washes her hands (some other woman's hands)". Numbers The cardinal numbers do not have a grammatical ending. Other than unu, du, tri and naw (1, 2, 3 and 9). Nul Zero Unu One Du Two Tri Three Kvar Four Kvin Five Ses Six Sep Seven Ok Eight Naw Nine Dek Ten Sent (One) hundred Mil (One) thousand Ordinals Ordinal numbers are adjectives, formed with -a. Unua First Dua Second Dudek-unua Twenty-first With compound numbers, a hyphen must be used. Adverbs Adverbs are formed from roots with the ending -e. Bone Well Rapide Quickly ec even hodie today iom a little, rather, some, somewhat, to some extent jus just,1 just now nun now nur only pli more plu further, more tro overly, too much tuy immediately Verbs There are no irregular verbs. All conjugations are formed by adding the right ending to the root. Infinitive The infinitive ending is -i. Esti aw ne esti. To be or not to be. Mi volas skribi libroy . I want to write books. Imperative The imperative ending is -u. It is used for giving direct commands (Go!) or for expressing our will (Let's...). Estu! Do it! Ne skribu libroy . Don't write books. Li skribu multa libroy ! Let him write many books/May he write many books! Ni iru al la kineyo. Let's go to the cinema. Mi iru tiam. I should go now. Tenses The present tense ending is -as. The past tense ending is -is. The future tense ending is -os. There is no agreement with number or gender of either subject or object. Mi skribas libroy . I write books. Conditional The conditional ending is -us; as in English it is also used as a polite way to express a wish or request. Se mi povus, mi skribus libroy . If I could, I would write books. Se mi estus vi, mi skribus libroy . If I were you, I would write books. Cu mi povus havi taso da teo? Could I have a cup of tea? Participles Participles are adjectives formed from verbs. There are two types: the active and the passive. Active participles -anta (action still ongoing) estas skribanta (is writing); estis skribanta (was writing); estos skribanta (will be writing) Tu estos skribanta libro . You (singular) will be writing a book. Vi estos skribanta libro . You (plural) will be writing a book. Passive participles Passive participles can be formed from transitive verbs and are used for the passive voice. -ata(action still on-going) esti skribata (to be (being) written) estu skribata let it be written ! estus skribata (would be (being) written) estis skribata(was (being) written) estas skribata(was(being) written) estos skribata (will be (being) written) La libro estas skribata. The book is being written. The direct object of sentences in passive voice is denoted by (par) after the participle: La libro estas skribata par mi. The book is being written by me.

Its use is the same as in the other languages. The Time of Day Ordinal numbers (unua, dua) are used for the hour of the day, with horo expressed or understood. The minutes are expressed by cardinal numbers (unu, du). In questions, as well as using kiam, the adjective kioma (from kiom, how much) can be used: Kiam vi alvenos? When will you arrive? Kioma horo estas? What hour (what o'clock, what time) is it? Ye kioma horo vi venos? At what time (what o'clock) will you come? Estas la dua horo. It is two o'clock (it is the second hour). Estas la tria kay kvin minutoy. It is five minutes past three. Ni iris ye la sesa kay duono. We went at half past six. Estas la oka kay kvardek kvin. It is eight forty-five.
