ideojn

Ideojn is the accusative plural form of the Esperanto noun ideo, meaning ideas. It is used when ideas function as the direct object of a verb or are otherwise in the accusative case within a sentence.

In Esperanto grammar, the accusative case is marked with the suffix -n. The plural form is indicated with -j before the -n, yielding ideoj for the nominative plural and ideojn for the accusative plural. Thus, ideoj means “ideas” (as a subject or in the nominative plural), while ideojn means “ideas” (as the direct object).

Usage notes:

- The form ideojn appears whenever you refer to multiple ideas that are being acted upon by a verb. For example: Mi havas kelkaj ideojn por la projekto. (I have a few ideas for the project.)

- It can also occur with verbs that take a direct object, as in: Mi prezentis la ideojn al la komisiono. (I presented the ideas to the commission.)

- After certain directional prepositions, the accusative may be used to indicate motion toward something, which would also require -n on the noun, as in Mi metas ideojn en la planon. (Note: en la planon is an illustrative example; the exact prepositional phrase depends on context.)

Etymology and related forms:
