Cerian: Difference between revisions

Note that the copula is usually ''esu'', but ''ešon'' is used for gnomic, natural truths. As an example, "my pen is blue" is ''bícon ésuon esu ríté'', but "the sky is blue" is ''šen gáteon ešon ríté''. The habitual form is typically used with large, typically unchanging objects - the sky, the sea, trees, buildings... while the continuous is used mostly for small objects or temporaneous states (cf. ''ser'' vs. ''estar'' in Portuguese). When in doubt, however, use ''esu''.<br/>Note, however, that when "to be" is used in order to indicate possession, ''esu'' denotes alienable possession while ''ešon'' denotes inalienable.
