"Kial ne mendi pli da picoj?"

Translation: Why not order more pizzas?

[superdenden]

As an American from the north east, one does not order more pizzas. One orders more pizza. More pizzas sounds like you do not understand what the food is.

[PamSedgwick]

I'm curious why mendi is in the infinitive in this sentence. I would have expected mendas.

[mihxal]

"Mendas" is a present form of the verb "mendi" and as such it needs a subject. But there is no subject. It's only a question about ordering pizzas.

[LytjeDk]

"Pluvas" means "(it) rains". There is no subject either, at least not it's not visible in Esperanto.
Yet that's what you say, not "pluvi"

[mihxal]

Yes, "pluvas" is the verb which doesn't have a subject. The reason is simple there is no subject. It just happens by itself. In English it is "It rains". But what is "it"?

[Antimatzist]

I think because it's an answer after another sentence/question: "cxu vi volas mendi du picojn?"- "kial ne mendi pli da picoj?" "Do you want to order two pizzas?" - "why not order more pizzas?" At least, that makes sense (both grammarwise and ordering more pizzas is always a good idea)

[Indarozino]

Ĉar iliaj picoj esta bluaj kaj havas tiom multe da oleoj.

[Director_Bones]

After dozens of times of re-listening I still cannot determine what words are being said. Anyone else have that problem, where the entire sentence sounds like one long word?

[CameronNed]

Why is it assumed "you"? I used "we", since there are no pronouns and any instance with multiple pizzas sounds like a many-person event.

[Ellenspeaking]

Surely in English you order "more pizza", not "more pizzas".
