aferojn

Aferojn is the accusative plural form of the Esperanto noun afero, which means matter, affair, business, or issue. In Esperanto, nouns take the -o suffix, and the direct object is marked with the -n suffix, so aferojn denotes multiple matters as the object of a sentence. The corresponding nominative plural is aferoj, and the singular forms are afero and aferon.

Usage of aferojn occurs when several matters are the object of a verb or clause. For example, Mi traktas la aferojn means “I am handling the matters.” The word can appear in a range of contexts, including administrative, legal, political, or everyday discourse, referring to tasks, concerns, or issues that are being considered or acted upon.

Etymology and related forms: Afero is a loanword in Esperanto, commonly linked to Western European languages, notably the French word affaire, meaning “affair” or “business.” The form aferojn follows standard Esperanto inflection for plural accusatives. Related terms include the singular afero and the plural nominative aferoj, which share the same root.

In sum, aferojn is the grammatically required form when multiple matters function as the direct object in an Esperanto sentence, reflecting the language’s regular system of noun endings and case marking. See also: afero, aferoj, Esperanto grammar, and common loanword sources in Esperanto.
