tutmondajn

Tutmondajn is the accusative plural form of the Esperanto adjective tutmondaj, meaning worldwide or global. In Esperanto, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in both number and case; thus tutmondaj becomes tutmondajn when the noun is plural and in the accusative.

Etymology and form. The term is built from tut- (all, entire) and mond- (world), with the standard adjective ending -aj to form tutmondaj. To express the accusative plural, the suffix -n is added, yielding tutmondajn. Related forms include tutmonda (nominative singular), tutmondan (accusative singular), and tutmondaj (nominative plural).

Usage. Tutmondajn is used when the modified noun is plural and in the accusative case, typically as the direct object of a verb or in phrases requiring the accusative. Example phrases include tutmondajn movadojn (global movements) and tutmondajn problemojn (global problems). It can also occur in more complex sentences where the action affects multiple worldwide entities.

Notes. Tutmondajn is not a standalone noun; it is a grammatical form that conveys the global scope of the plural noun it describes. It contrasts with tutmondaj (nominative plural) and tutmondan (accusative singular), which reflect different numbers and cases. As with other Esperanto adjectives, its meaning derives from combining the root elements and applying standard agreement rules.
