Translation

ear

Examples

aŭdon.

He has big ears and good hearing.

.

She said the secret into my ear.

doloris .

The noise hurt my ears.

.

The dog raised its ears and listened.

.

My ears were red from the cold wind.

Straightforward body-part noun, and the usual accusative rule applies: with -n for whispering into it, without for something already sitting there. Orelringo is an earring, and o the flap on a hat, both formed the obvious way. Where English says a good ear for music, Esperanto prefers muzika aŭdo, since the idiom does not carry over. Note that in the plural is unremarkable, unlike , because ears come in a countable pair to begin with.
