- LaPingvino 16y agoIt's made to be easy, and part of the effort to do that is making the vocabulary as trivial as internationally feasible. There are languages made to be even more directly understandable, like Interlingua, but they are a bit harder to pick up as an actively used language as you have to learn a lot more words to be able to talk about things. Esperanto provides shortcuts to say a lot with just a basic vocabulary.
