Esperanto Etymology Initially, the correlatives for time ended with -an instead of -am: kian, tian, ian, ĉian, nenian instead of the modern kiam, tiam, iam, ĉiam, neniam. Zamenhof left a one-year period (from Esperanto's creation in 1887 to 1888) during which changes to Esperanto could be proposed. After that year, the only change that was made was changing the time correlatives from -an to -am due to the risk of confusion with correlatives ending with -a + the accusative ending -n. The forms with -an are no longer used, but they can be found in a few older texts from that one-year period. This is the only reform proposal that has ever been successfully implemented into Esperanto.eo Wennergren Bertilo 2024-06-21 https://bertilow.com/pmeg/gramatiko/e-vortecaj_vortetoj/tempaj/tabelvortoj_am.html Tabelvortoj je AM Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko 2025-01-12 https://web.archive.org/web/20260515040149/https://bertilow.com/pmeg/gramatiko/e-vortecaj_vortetoj/tempaj/tabelvortoj_am.html 15 May 2026 Pronunciation LL-Q143 (epo)-Lepticed7--am.wav Suffix eo suffix suffix for correlatives of time Derived terms eo ĉiam<t:always> iam<t:sometime> kiam<t:when> neniam<t:never> (nonce) eo aliam (at) another time, sometime else tiam<t:then> References Hungarian Pronunciation Etymology 1 Suffix hu suffix noun-forming suffixes hu possessive hu possessive suffix my first-person singular, single possession hu ház house → hu házam a házam my house Usage notes Declension -ama o y sg Etymology 2 Suffix hu suffix noun-forming suffixes hu noun-forming hu noun-forming suffix Added to a noun or a verb to form a noun.
