Does there exist a mnemonic in Esperanto for the first 8 digits of pi?

Question

In English we have the following mnemonic for the first 8 digits of pi: “May I have a large container of coffee?” The digits of pi are obtained by counting the number of letters in each word:

May = 3

I = 1

have = 4

...

So, does there exist a mnemonic in Esperanto for the first 8 digits of pi?

edit: There is no requirement that the mnemonic in Esperanto follow the same pattern as the one given here in English. For example, the rule for the Esperanto mnemonic might be "Subtract 1 from the number of letters in each word." (or, 2, etc.).

Answer 1

I have never heard of such a mnemonic before, but let’s give it a try. :-) (If you don’t like neologismoj you’re welcome to come up with an alternative!)

Pro l’ olda k lanta elevatoro mi tardas

Answer 2

Even if this question has already an accepted answer, let me link this interesting Wikipedia page for everybody’s enjoyment.

The problem that in principle Esperanto doesn’t have one-letter words can be easily overcome applying the rules of standard Pilish: for instance, the sequence 1 2 can be encoded by a 12-letter word.

In my following attempt, however, I resorted to another trick.

Jen:
o nomo,
a finaĵ’ adjektiva,
as verbas:
tiele sen manko funkcias
fleksebla, belsona Esperanto.

Translation: “Here it is: o (is a) noun, a an adjective ending, as makes verbs: flexible, nice-sounding Esperanto works in this way without shortcomings.”

Explanation: The trick I resorted to is simple: I used the basic endings o, a and as as independent words. This was even envisioned by Zamenhof himself, in a famous answer: endings and suffixes are independent words (here, p.48) As a final insider joke, I used the adjectives flexible and nice-sounding, which are part of a well-known, outdated slogan from several decades ago: simpla, fleksebla, belsona, vere internacia en siaj elementoj... and so on.

Answer 3

Mi neniam aŭdis pri tiu frazo (mia denaska lingvo ne estas la angla, sed mi studis multege da matematiko en universitato) kaj mi dubas, ke tiaj frazoj ekzistas en aliaj lingvoj, do kial oni bezonus esperantan?

Mi certas, ke oni povus elpensi tian frazon, sed… kial? Ankaŭ, Esperanto ne havas unuliterajn vortojn, tial oni devas uzi mallongigojn kiel k (de kaj, PIV uzas tiun) kaj aliajn similajn.
