Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko (PMEG, English: Complete Manual of Esperanto Grammar) is a book which explains Esperanto grammar in an easy-to-learn format. It was mostly written by Bertilo Wennergren[1] and is for ordinary Esperanto speakers who want to study Esperanto's grammar, word construction, writing and pronunciation.[2]
It does not use traditional grammatical terminology,[3] which makes it easier to understand[4] than traditional grammar textbooks. Examples of the terms used are "O-vorto" (English: O-word) instead of "substantivo" (English: noun, substantive) and "rolvorteto" (English: little role word) instead of "prepozicio" (English: preposition). These new grammatical terms are also more suitable to describe Esperanto than traditional terms. For example, using traditional terminology, the words "tiu" (English: that one), "ambaŭ" (English: both) and "ties" (English: that one's) would be adjectives, but they behave very differently to the adjectives ending in "a"; the word "A-vorto" (English: A-word) groups words that behave similarly together.[5]
PMEG is mainly a practical guide and not really a theoretical work for linguists, unlike the Plena Analiza Gramatiko (English: Complete Analytical Grammar), which was regarded as "the largest research project into Esperanto's grammar" until PMEG's publication.[6]
Since 1995 it has existed on the Internet.[7] In 2006, the printed version, published by Esperanto-USA, became available for purchase, as well.
Only Wennergren is responsible for PMEG's contents, but many other people helped with the making of this book.
