Esperanto/Appendix/Slang

There are very few idiomatic or slang words in Esperanto, as these forms of speech tend to make international communication difficult—working against Esperanto's main goal. The suffix -ĉjo may be used to describe something in an affectionate manner, but this was defined ever since the first Esperanto dictionary and should not be considered slang.
