train
Word origin
From English train and French train, both from Latin trahere, 'to pull', a train being the thing pulled along. The spelling trajno keeps the English diphthong with Esperanto letters.

- train, traction
Examples
.
The train will arrive at ten o'clock.
.
We travelled by train to the sea.
Rapidu, !
Hurry, the train will leave soon!
The is pronounced like the vowel in eye, so sounds close to the English word with an o on the end. You travel per or, more compactly, trajne. A railway is , an iron road, one of Esperanto's tidiest compounds.
