teatraĵo = theater meat? Joke aside, is the suffix "-aĵ", as used for meat with animals, just a coincidence, or does it mean something larger that encapsulates both forming words for meat and theater plays?

It is used for, in general, "a thing that it produces". So the thing a theater produces is plays

I'm actually quite disappointed the direct translation isn't theatre meat...

Spekti is basically "to spectate" in English if that helps.
When you spektas, you are watching someone do something such as performing. When you rigardas, you are just looking at something. There ia a level of involvement beyond just you eyes when you spektas, whereas you can use only your eyes to rigardas

"Tiu" is "that". "Tiu ĉi" aŭ "ĉi tiu" is "this". "Ĉi" stands for proximity.

Can I also say artistajxo? Since this is what an actor produces. Or teatristajxo?

why is "In this theater they can dances and plays" marked wrong? I understood it can also mean "one can" but it could mean both. What am I missing?
