Partoprenas

Partoprenas is an Esperanto verb meaning "participates" or "to participate." It is the present tense form of partopreni, the verb used to express taking part in an activity or event. In Esperanto, verbs do not change for person or number, and tense is indicated by the verb ending; the present tense ends with -as, as in partoprenas.

Usage of partoprenas describes someone taking part in an event or activity, such as a meeting, conference, competition, or course. It can refer to the subject’s own participation or to that of others. Examples include: Mi partoprenas la kongreson. La teamo partoprenas la konkurson.

Derivation and related forms: partopreno means "participation," and partoprenanto means "participant." The infinitive form is partopreni, from which the present tense partoprenas is derived by adding the -as ending. This makes the word construction transparent for speakers.

Notes: Partoprenas is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts to describe involvement in events or activities. It pairs with accusative objects when indicating the event or activity in which participation occurs, for example partopreni la konferencon or partopreni kongreson. The term is widely understood in Esperanto communities and media.
