Saluton! Your first conversation
Six phrases that get you through the first minute with any Esperantist in the world.
Why these go together
You have just met every word in these, one at a time. Put together, they are the first minute of every Esperanto conversation there has ever been. Notice the -n on : you are wishing someone a good day, so the day is the object of a verb nobody bothers to say.
