"lernenda leciono" = a lesson that has to be learned, or must be learned. Compare with "lerninda" = worth being learned.
"farendaĵoj" is a good translation for "to do list" (lit., "things you have to do").

If I have a list of my "farendaĵoj" for the day, it doesn't necessarily mean I have a moral obligation to do those things, but I will probably be unhappy or displeased, for one reason or another, if I fail to complete the activities listed.

erinja:I would not really use the word "moral", but -end- does indicate an obligation.That's right. I tried to put into words the fact that -end- is a little bit weaker than -ot-, but it seems I failed.

Right?

It's a distinction (must vs. will) that is easy to make in English (and Esperanto) but perhaps not so much in other languages.
