Bonanokton tutmonda! Mi amas vi!
bonanokton
"nokton" sounds like a great name for a camera lens. Perhaps an all-aspheric 58mm f/0.7 lens for a 35mm slr.
The wish in Esperanto should perhaps be: "Bonan nokton, tuta mondo! Mi amas vin!"
(Good night, all world! I love you!)
(Good night, all world! I love you!)
Very nice in English. I don't find Esperanto very beautiful. I especially dislike the way everyone speaks it with their own intrusive accents. Truthfully, I heard it with an Italian accent once and it wasn't bad, but some other accents. ARGGH!
I really don't like making a language out of fragments of other languages in a deliberate way. Yes, other languages became "enriched" but the process seems more "natural".
Do I hate Esperanto? No, but I am suspicious of the motives of those who push it-both those who are accomplished linguists and those who only know Esperanto and their native tongue. It often seems an anti-English gesture or let's get a "neutral" language for one world. Do you disagree?

I don't think it's anti anything; it's just plain foolish and unnecessary.
