I was trying to translate the following sentence:
"I'm not used to that."
I got as far as:
"Mi ne estas kutimita *de/kun/pri/je* tio."
Which preposition (if any) am I supposed to use?
I'm leaning towards 'je', since no other one seems to make sense.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can give.

ernie13:Hello fellow Esperanto enthusiasts,In doubtful cases like this, using "je" is your safest bet.

patrik: "Mi ne kutimigxas *je* tio."This means:
I am not getting used to that
and not
I am not used to that
So, Hyperboreus has got it right:
mi ne kutimas tion (the verb is transitive and often used with infinitive)
mi ne kutimas fumi cigaredojn

Mi devos alkutimiĝi al pli ŝparema vivo - I'll have to get used to spending less.
Mi ne kutime antaŭpagas - I don't usually pay in advance.
Mi ankoraŭ ne akiris la kutimon - I still haven't got used to ..

I might as well ask this while I'm posting:
Is there some easy way of knowing when a verb is transitive or intransitive?
I did find two lists with the most commonly used ones. But not all verbs are on there.
Again, any help would be appreciated.

ernie13:Is there some easy way of knowing when a verb is transitive or intransitive?Learn transivity together with the meaning of the verb - the best way is to learn the verb in a sentence, not alone, then you'll know if it is or is not transitive. PIV (Plena Ilustrita Vortaro = Esperanto Bible) shows the transivity of all verbs, so it is a good source of that knowledge.

ernie13:Thanks everyone. You've all been very helpful.There’s a past thread on transitivity that might help you.

I now understand I shouldn't just try to translate the verb, but I should try to understand the actual meaning of the verb first. Then it should be clear whether the verb is transitive or not.
