Zagreb

The Zagreb method is an Esperanto teaching method that was developed in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (present-day capital city of Croatia),

I believe Zagreb was the capital of Croatia then too, and would prefer

... developed in Zagreb, capital of Croatia (then part of Yugoslavia),

or, even better, omit any direct mention of Croatia or Yugoslavia, whose relevance is not obvious. That's what links are for. —Tamfang (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KTP

Historically, much music has been written in the language such as Kaj Tiel Plu.

Kaj Tiel Plu ('and so forth', literally 'and thus more') appears to be the name of a performing group, not a work. Either way, the sentence could be clearer. —Tamfang (talk) 00:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, there exists eo:Kategorio:Esperantaj muzikaj grupoj. —Tamfang (talk) 00:45, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Islam

When did Ayatollah Khomeini recommend Esperanto as a international language?

When was the Esperanto Koran published?

Is Esperanto still used in Iran, especially in Qom?

Naskinto is gender neutral term for “parent”.

Naskinto is the correct term for parent; Zamenhof used it himself. the claim that “esperanto doesnt have a gender neutral term for parent” is not even correct. that claim should be removed.

»Oni nomas la donacon patrineco-pakaĵo, kaj ĝi evitigas multe da cerbumado kaj butikumado. Ĝi enhavas 54 utilaĵojn, kiel bebovestaĵojn, litaĵojn, zorgilojn por naskinto kaj naskito, kaj ankaŭ kondomojn. La kartona skatolo mem, granda 70 x 43 x 27 cm, estas uzebla kiel bebolito.« https://tekstaro.com/t?nomo=artikoloj-el-monato-2012-2018&uzistreketojn=0&tipo=&sekcio=monato-2016-011695&antauasekcio=1&postasekcio=1
»R: Jes, sed malmultaj. La ĉinoj estas seriozaj pri seksaj interrilatoj, kaj seksaj rilatoj antaŭ geedziĝo estas riproĉataj de la publika opinio. La Geedza Leĝo de Ĉinio difinas, ke eksteredzecaj infanoj estas protekta- taj. Ili povas esti vivtenataj de la naskintoj aŭ de aliuloj.« https://dlibra.kul.pl/Content/48571/55874_V-19034_El-Popola-Cinio.pdf
»Laŭ moderna prononco, „Awadi”. Aha-di signifas: „vojo al Aha“, (ĉar ĝi kuŝas mezvoje al la provinco Aha) sed la vorto volas diri nenion pri tio, ke ĝi ne „plaĉis“ al la naskintoj; tial la originala noto en la krampoj estas tute ne komprenebla; eble ĝi estas malĝusta aldonaĵo, farita de malmulteinformita manskribisto en frua tempo, kiu legis la vorton, „a-hadi“, kio tiam signifas „mia honto“.« https://www.vastalto.com/librejo/KroJap/KroJap1.html

Naskinto is a mother (in the context of a birth), not a parent: it means 'birthgiver'. Even there, naskinto and patrino are not synonyms: Your 'mother' is not necessarily your birthgiver, any more than your 'father' is necessarily your sperm-donor. — kwami (talk) 06:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which war?

One paragraph under "20th century" starts with the three words:

"After the war"

Could anyone clarify which of the many, MANY wars of the 20th century this is about? The biggest one? Or maybe another war ... 130.238.112.129 (talk) 12:55, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The war discussed in the preceeding paragraph. MrOllie (talk) 12:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
