normojn

Normojn is the accusative plural form of normo, the Esperanto word for norm or standard. In Esperanto, the direct object of a verb is marked by the suffix -n, and the plural is formed with the ending -oj for the nominative or -ojn for the accusative. Therefore, normoj is “norms” in the nominative plural, and normojn is “norms” in the accusative plural. This means normojn functions as the object of a verb in a sentence, for example: Mi legas la normojn por la kurso, or Mi studas la normojn por la ekzamenoj.

Usage and examples illustrate how the form is applied. When talking about the rules or standards that someone studies, follows, or applies, speakers will use normojn in the accusative plural to indicate the norms as the object of the action. The term can refer to formal standards, guidelines, or accepted practices within a given field. As with other Esperanto nouns, normoj, normo, normon, and normojn share the same root, with the suffixes providing number and case information rather than independent inflections.

Etymology and notes: normo derives from the international vocabulary rooted in Latin and French traditions, carried into Esperanto through the global standardization lexicon. In Esperanto, the same root can appear in related forms such as normoj (plural nominative) and norma (adjective form meaning “normative”). Normojn specifically denotes the plural norms as the object of an action. See also normoj and norma for related terms and grammatical forms.
