I never analysed an Esperanto text, but when I see one I can mostly get the
content like with an Interlingua, Italian, or French one. If Esperanto was
anything like Turkish or Hungarian, I'd have noticed.

Made-up Esparanto:
Lingvo Esperantoja estas simplo.

Made-up Hungaranto:
Lingvorasi Esperantonok esterezet simplisi.

Please study Esperanto grammar before commenting. You obviously
haven't clue.

No, I don't have a clue about Esperanto grammar.

Can you also recognize/ understand the structure of
words like malsanulejo? It means hopsital. Any idea why?

guessing:
mal = bad
san = health
ulejo - that could indeed be a sequence of suffixes.

My expectation was that in an agglunating language the words are
longer than what I recall from occasional E'o sentences occurring here
and there. Your example "malsanulejo" doesn't fit what I recall.
