Interagantajn

Interagantajn is the accusative plural form of the participle interaganta, which itself is the present participle of the Esperanto verb interagi (“to interact”). In Esperanto grammar, participles function similarly to adjectives in English, modifying nouns and agreeing with them in number, gender, and case. When used in the accusative plural, interagantajn typically modifies a plural noun that is the direct object of a verb, indicating that the objects or subjects are actively engaging with each other or with something else.

The base participle interaganta derives from interagi, a compound of inter (“between”) and agi (“to do, to act”). The participle suffix –anta is added to the verb stem, producing interaganta, meaning “interacting” or “engaging”. Adding the accusative plural ending –jn yields interagantajn. Because Esperanto adjectives do not decline for definiteness or demonstratives, interagantajn functions solely as a descriptive modifier.

Typical contexts for interagantajn include scientific descriptions of phenomena, social interactions, or formal documentation where multiple entities are described as actively interacting. For instance: “Mi vidis la interagantajn grupojn dum la konferenco,” translates as “I saw the interacting groups during the conference.” In this sentence, interagantajn is the accusative plural adjective describing grupojn.

It is useful to differentiate interagantajn from the nominative plural interagantaj. While the latter would appear in subject position (“Interagantaj aŭtentoj plenumis la taskon”), the accusative plural is employed when the group is a direct object or subject of the accusative case, especially in indirect objects or with double‑object constructions.

The form interagantajn is common in Esperanto literature, scientific reports, and everyday speech where precise, participial description is required. It exemplifies the language’s systematic approach to inflection, allowing speakers to convey subtle nuances of action without adding extra words.
