fire

Examples

.

The fire burned all night long.

.

We sat by the fire and told stories.

.

He made a fire with two pieces of wood.

.

The old house was lost in a fire.

.

Her heart was full of fire.

is the fire itself; is a flame within it and is what it does. Note that is intransitive - the house burns - while i is what you do to the house, and mixing the two is the single commonest mistake around this root. From you also get o for a spark, using -er- to pick out one particle of a mass, the same suffix behind o and o. Figurative use, as in a heart full of fire, is entirely at home in Esperanto prose.
