I think the difference between 'boli' and 'boligi', and 'sidi' and 'sidiĝi' mixes up us English native speakers because we use the same word, 'boil', and 'sit', for both.Yes, there are many English words, such as "burn", "boil", and "drown" that have both a transitive meaning and an intransitive meaning. I think the difference between 'boli' and 'boligi', and 'sidi' and 'sidiĝi' mixes up us English native speakers because we use the same word, 'boil', and 'sit', for both. I believe you can also get rid of the preposition and say it as 'Mi sidiĝis seĝon', yes? going from a standing position to a sitting position. 'I sit down on a chair.' This describes the action of sitting down in the chair, i.e. 'sidas' is describing what's happening to the subject. 'I sit on a chair', 'I am sitting on a chair.' There's no object. I boil the water ('I am causing the water to boil', 'I am making the water boil.') The subject (I) am causing something to happen to the object (the water).
It's an intransitive verb describing what's happening to the subject, i.e. The water boils (or, 'the water is boiling'.
Fou:Can anyone help me differentiate the two? I'm kind of having a hard time understanding the explanation here.I've had some trouble with this too recently and I've been studying up on it this week.
