Seventh class (April 1st)

Summary

We spent most of the seventh class on the remainder of chapter 6 and the start of chapter 7.

By now you should be familiar with:

• The use of the accusative case (-n) to show motion towards a thing or place:

  • with nouns (La kato saltis sur la tablon)
  • and adverbs (Ni iris hejmen)
  • and with kie and tie (Kien ŝi veturis?)

• The use of prepositions de and el for showing movement from a place.

• The verb ending -u

• The suffixes -uj and -an and their multiple meanings.

Homework

1. Read chapter 7 of the text (La veterprognozo) and do the exercises.

Handouts

• Solutions to chapter 6.

• Names for parts of the face, to go with the introduction in Mazi of names for parts of the body.

• La tri kaproj, a short children’s story you should be able to read by now. It makes heavy use of the suffixes -et and -eg from chapter 4.

• A slightly risqué joke making (mis)use of the accusative ending -n.
