grandajn

Grandajn is a grammatical form in Esperanto, not a standalone term or proper noun. It is the plural accusative form of the adjective granda, meaning large or great. In Esperanto, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number, and the accusative case is marked by the suffix -n on both the noun and the adjective. Therefore grandajn modifies a plural noun that is the direct object or the goal of movement.

For example, in the sentence mi vidas grandajn birdojn, grandajn birdojn means “large birds” and functions as the direct object of the verb vidas (see). This illustrates how the accusative -n is applied to both the noun birdojn and the modifying adjective grandajn.

In general, the base form is granda for a singular noun in the nominative case. The corresponding forms include grandaj for plural nominative and grandajn for plural accusative. The form grandajn is not a standalone lexical item; it appears only within a noun phrase where the noun is plural and the phrase is in the accusative.

Outside of Esperanto grammar, grandajn does not carry an independent meaning or usage as a named entity. It is simply one of the inflected forms that the language uses to indicate number and grammatical role within a sentence.
