is cooking in hot fat, as against , which is cooking in general,
, baking, and , roasting. The four are worth keeping apart -
Esperanto splits them exactly where English does.
A false seam. looks like it has been assembled out of frit-
plus the passive participle -it- plus an ending, and only half of that is
true. really is frit- + -it- + -a, fried. But the plain
infinitive is NOT fri- plus -it-: the root is frit- all the way,
and there is no verb frii. Same shape, different structure, and the only way
to tell is to know whether the leftover piece is a real root.
Useful derivations: o a fried thing, o a fryer, o a
deep-fat pan. Chips are fritoj or , depending on how
formal you are feeling.
