The beginning Esperanto student should learn all of the words in this glossary rather soon in his studies. There are well under a thousand main entries, but they and their derivatives will be about 80% of the words that will occur in most Esperanto texts.
The entries have slashes (/) separating the roots and affixes, and are alphabetized by the part before the first slash. If the word is at the left margin, it is the basic form of the word with the basic meaning. Derivatives are listed immediately below it, slightly indented.
| Definition Examples | |
| aĉet/i | (vt) to buy, purchase |
| aĉet/o | (n) an act of purchasing |
| aĉet/aĵ/o | (n) a purchase (i.e., an item purchased) |
| This says that the root aĉet is basically a transitive verb, aĉeti, meaning “to purchase”. the other meanings depend on that definition for their own meanings. The noun, aĉeto, means “a purchase”, that is, the act of buying something. The noun aĉetaĵo means “a purchase”, that is, a thing that is purchased. Other words not listed, but formed regularly, would be the adjective aĉeta, meaning “relating to purchasing” and the adverb aĉete, meaning “by means of a purchase”. | |
