"They meet the man and him."

Translation: Ili renkontas la viron kaj lin.

[Lisiik]

What is the difference between "renkontas" and "renkontigas"?

[tedhascoldpants]

In the interest of figuring out Esperanto grammar, I submitted "La viron kaj lin ili renkontas" and it was marked wrong. Is that because I did something wrong, or should that be reported?

[Duan]

I think it should be reported.

[crispycraker]

Definitely report.

This is an old question, I know, but given the amount of discussion, I just have to comment - there's no reason to write a sentence like this. Back around the time that this conversation was going on, the course contributors released a statement basically begging people to stop submitting sentences with "creative" word order.

Mi renkontas adamo en la cafejo

Ni renkontiĝas en la kafejo

This example is weird in English. People just don't talk like this...
