In Esperanto, the N ending is usually used to mark the accusative: Ŝi ŝatas fiŝojn. flugas, flies, is flying. Many western languages work this way - where a verb-expression can be like the object of the verb - so it's natural that Esperanto works the same way. Ru verbs or V2 verbs end in any kana in the い(i)/え(e) column + る(ru). subject noun verb object noun Esperanto is "grammar-coded": you can tell what part each word plays in a sentence from the word endings: -o, -on single subject noun, single object noun-oj, -ojn plural subject noun, plural object noun To show when the action takes place, the verb tense (time) is changed by putting these endings on the verb roots: For example, when you conjugate the verb “to be” in the present tense, you get “I am," “you are,” and “she is” — three different forms.) The forms used more often are created synthetically using suffixes, the rest is created analytically using auxiliary verb esti – ‘to be’ and participles.
