    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?

    I think it should be reported.

      Maybe the "ili" is not needed?

        I believe that the "ili" is still required, because otherwise, you'd have no idea who is meeting the man and him.

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