minus-squarelili_thana@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoEsperanton is the accusative form of Esperanto. So literally “Do you speak Esperanto?” Esperante is an adverbized form of Esperanto. So “Ĉu vi parolas esperante?” Is like “Do you speak esperanto-ly?” Hard to translate literally.
