In English you can say pro-whatever to say that you are in favour of something, such as pro-independence. I sometimes see people use the same prefix in Esperanto such as in mi estas pro-eŭropa. This seems wrong to me because the preposition pro has a different meaning in Esperanto. Is there a different prefix you could use for this? Maybe por-eŭropa? Or is it better to make an explicit sentence?

I believe Por would be the correct answer

"Poreŭropa" would be the way to express "Pro-european"

  • "Por-esperanta" and "kontraŭ-esperanta' are common enough. Also see the definition of por (as a prefix) in PIV. Jul 17, 2018 at 16:22

    Yes, por. The PIV article for pro contains a remark with some examples about the differences of por and pro. Mar 16, 2020 at 10:07
