Pronunciation
Noun

1912 April, Michael Gartner, “Sub Kaŝtana Arbo”, in Amerika Esperantisto, volume 11, number 3, page 23:Laŭ soleca vojeto vagas paro da gejunuloj. Ili ĝuas la belaĵojn, sed evidente trovas pli multe da ĉarmo en reciprokaj rigardoj.- Along a lonely pathway wanders a young couple. They enjoy the beautiful sights, but obviously find more charm in reciprocal looks.
Usage notes
Dated construction by writers who understood junulo as a masculine noun. Since junulo is gender-neutral now, the ge- prefix is superfluous, unless one wishes to emphasize that a group of youth includes people of more than one gender.
