Questions & Answers about Ne tiru tiun tirkeston tro forte, ĉar ĝi povas rompiĝi.
Tiru is the -u form, which Esperanto uses for commands, requests, and exhortations.
- tiras = pulls / is pulling
- tiru = pull! / do pull / should pull
Because the sentence is telling someone not to do something, Esperanto uses:
- Ne tiru = Don’t pull
So Ne tiras would not work here for a command.
In Esperanto, commands often leave out the subject because it is understood.
- (Vi) ne tiru = Don’t pull
You can include vi if you want, but normally it is omitted because the listener is obvious.
Because tiu is part of the direct object, it takes the accusative ending -n.
- tiu = that
- tiun = that one / that, as a direct object
Here, the thing being pulled is that drawer, so Esperanto marks it with -n:
- tiun tirkeston
