Translation

fact

Examples

, opinio.

That is a fact, not an opinion.

.

The facts show a different truth.

.

We must accept the facts.

.

He knows all the facts about the crime.

, , sufiĉas.

The fact that she came is already enough.

The pattern in the last example is worth copying: , ... with a comma before , exactly as English uses the fact that. Esperanto punctuates clauses with a comma as a matter of course, which English does not, so the comma will look wrong to you for a while.

Fakta means factual and fakte means in fact. The false friend to watch is , a compartment or a field of study, which gives , an expert. One letter separates a fact from a specialist, and nothing in the shape of the words warns you.
