To many people, 1 is easier to pronounce (ending in a similar sequence of sounds as the English word coin). B. It’s an advantage to have the N ending appear last whenever the number of an adjective does not match the number of a noun (which sometimes happens in Esperanto): Vi havas belajn hundon kaj katon. ”You have a nice dog and a nice cat.” | |
