Note the preposition: things happen , on an island, exactly as in English, and Esperanto keeps even where the island is large enough to feel like a country. o is an islander, built with the same -an- that gives you o and , and duoninsulo, a half-island, is a peninsula, which is one of those compounds that makes a learner briefly suspect the language is cheating. o is an islet. The spelling is worth care, since the Esperanto word keeps the s that English quietly dropped.
