While playing a game with several experienced Esperanto players, nobody had a good solution to this. How would you pronounce a sentence like this one:
In English, we would all say "In my house there are -blank- rooms." What do you say for this in Esperanto?
Kiel oni prononcu la strekon?
Plenigu la spacon = Fill in the blanks
En mia domo estas (spacon) ĉambroj
In a form it can be "kampo"
The word is simply blanko. See this example in the PIV: plenigi la blankojn de formulo. (It certainly makes sense for paper of any colour.)
PIV also has this for blanka:
blanka 6 Neplenigita, ne plenskribita: blanka akcepto (en kiu la sumo estas ankoraŭ menciota); blanka kredito (sengarantia); blanka ĝiro (sen la nomo de la ĝirito); blanka vendo (ĉe kiu la vendanto ankoraŭ ne posedas la venditaĵon).
My first choice would be um.
Other possibilities are mank and breĉ (or even strek).
The usual word for "a blank space" is blankaĵo, but that obviously only makes sense if the paper is white, so you can also use manko.
