let me put it this way:
the listbox should be on the same frame under the entry widget and the
whole list should be visible, when the user types the word in Entry widger
and clicks on search button, the listbox narrows down to that word only and
now just (for example: water akvo) are visible. do you know what i mean?
i'm not native english speaker so maybe i can't explain it :(

the code and my database is in the file uploaded (the database is sqlite3
[i made it in ubuntu linux with SQLiteBrowser program]):

I'm using python 3.4 on an ubuntu 14.4 LTS OS and frequently find myself
'off line'.

The Python interactive interpreter comes with a powerful interactive
help()
help("keyword") # e.g. "raise"
help(any_object)
to get help and documentation.

how can i add a listbox under the entry and button widgets?

Can you clarify that sentence? What do you mean by "under"?
Do you want the list box to be located on the same form as
two widgets but underneath? Or do you want the listbox
to appear when you press the button?
If its the first then it will be down to using the
correct layout manager (pack, grid, place etc) in
conjunction with one or more Frame containers.
If its the second the jn you will need to say where
the listbox should appear: in a dialog or on the
existing form.

i want to use database to fill the listbox, both fields in the database
(English and Esperanto)

What kind of database? You can attach Python to most databases
but there are differences depending on the exact database
you use. Is it SQL or a flat file database?

*English* *Esperanto*
water akvo
father patro
and so on...

That's probably just a string formatting task.

i want to make the items in the list searchable, and when the user types
and clicks on the button, it shows the word.

You must be more specific. We can't read your mind.
If the user clicks on the button it should show which word?
I assume you mean if the user enters a word in the entry
widget and then presses the button then the list box should
arrange its contents such that the user word and its pair
are both visible? And maybe highlighted too?
I'm guessing that the word entered can be in either English
or Esperanto? So if the user enters 'water' it will show
"water akvo"
And if the user enters the word 'patro' it will show
"father patro"
Is that what you mean?

files are attached.

This is a text based mailing list, your attachments have
disappeared in transit (at least for me). Please send the files
as text embedded in your mail. (Please be sure to use plain
text email for this as HTML will mess up the formatting).
If the files are long, say >100 lines put them on a pastebin
type site and send a link.
