For example, if you are cooking dinner, you are a kuiranto (“cook (someone who is cooking)”). If you are employed as a chef, you are a kuiristo (“cook (by occupation)”). This often implies a professional occupation, but not necessarily. E.g. artisto (“artist”) and verkisto (“author, writer”) also frequently refer to hobbyists. Also note that in Esperanto, membership is denoted by -ano. For example, a colonist is a koloniano, whereas koloniisto would signify an advocate of colonialism (koloniismo). ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== -ismo (doctrine, ideology): == Polish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈis.tɔ/ Rhymes: -istɔ Syllabification: -is‧to === Suffix === -isto m vocative singular of -ista
