You can find the Kompleta Gramatiko Detaloza online here:

For a more modern Ido course in English I recommend 'Ido for All', at the

Bona chanco!

>Danko pro vua questiono pri Ido. Your question is a tricky one to answer.
>According to the rules of Ido grammar, the suffix -er denotes someone who
>is
>
>an amateur at something, and -ist denotes a professional. I consulted the
>Kompleta Gramatiko Detaloza for guidance, but this book does not say which
>suffix to use when someone is both an amateur and professional.
>
>My personal advice would be that one may use either suffix in this
>situation. The person refered to may be both an amateur and professional
>at
>
>the same time, but in any given context they will be only be refered to in
>either their amateur or professional capacity, not both. So the choice of
>-er or -ist would naturally be determined by which capacity is being
>refered
>
>to.
>
>But if both capacities really are refered to at the same time, I would say
>the Idist is free to choose which of the two suffixes to use. Ido defines
>clear and precise meanings for its roots and affixes, but it is not a
>pedantic language. One of its pioneers Louis Couturat stressed the freedom
>to choose between different forms of expression in Ido. He said: "We
>should
>
>not ask: How SHOULD I say that?, but rather: How MAY I say that?" (within
>the rules of the language)
>
>I hope this helps and good luck learning Ido.
