sleep well in Esperanto

“Sleep well” in Esperanto is Dormu bone! (DOHR-moo BOH-neh), the command form of dormi “to sleep” plus bone “well”. Use the adverb bone, not the adjective bona, because it describes how you sleep. People often say it right after Bonan nokton! “Good night”.

Other ways to say it

• Dormu dolĉe!Have a nice sleep!
• Bonan nokton!Good night!
• Dolĉajn sonĝojn!Sweet dreams!
