ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Spesmilo

Spesmilo is a made-up word that means "special penny" in the language of Esperanto.

Esperanto is a special made-up language, like Pig Latin or Klingon. It was created a long time ago to help people all over the world understand each other better.

Now, the spesmilo is a way of measuring value in Esperanto. It's like a special unit of money.

When people use spesmilo, they have a standard way of measuring how much things "cost" or how valuable they are.

For example, let's say you have a toy truck that costs 5 spesmilo. That means it's worth 5 times more than a small toy that only costs 1 spesmilo.

Overall, spesmilo is a way to make sure everyone speaks the same language when it comes to measuring things, like money.
