Translation

a concrete thing made of the root

Examples

on .

We took food for the journey.

?

Have you heard the news?

aĝa.

The building is a hundred years old.

oj.

Warm drinks stood on the table.

rakonto.

A strange creature appeared in the story.

-- makes a concrete thing out of whatever the root is. From verbs it gives the product or the object: gives o, food; gives o, a drink; gives , a building. From adjectives it gives a thing with that quality, so gives , a piece of news. Always a noun in -o.

The pairing to learn is with --. -- is the thing you can touch, -- the abstract quality, which is why o is a good deed and o is goodness. -- also does the meat trick, turning an animal into what you eat: gives o, beef. aĵo alone simply means a thing.
