Table of 45 Correlatives
A key to the Esperanto Language
These are tables of what we call the “Correlatives”. It's an exceptionally simple way to learn a whole set of very important words. The way to create any of the words is to take one of the 5 beginnings, shown at the top of each column, in green. Then add that to one of the endings, shown in the rows at the right, in blue. Please note that each of these words has the letter "I" in the middle or beginning of the word.
