Root

Examples

.

The title of the book is too long.

.

I do not remember the title of that article.

.

He received the title of doctor.

Both English senses live in one Esperanto word: the name on the front of a book and the rank in front of a person's name. The verb titoli is to give something a title, and sentitola is untitled. Keep it apart from : your book has a , you have a , and a duke has both.
