The suffix is -end- and it denotes a moral obligation. I do not find it very often.
"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").

I would not really use the word "moral", but -end- does indicate an obligation.
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.

In the case of a house, I would say that the "pentrenda" domo is the house that *must* be painted (someone has decreed that this will be so, whether it has actually happened yet or not, and whether or not concrete plans have been made). The "pentrota" domo is the house that will be painted. Someone has made a plan to paint the house. This doesn't mean that it is a house that *must* be painted, only that it will be painted. If the house will be painted but doesn't really need painting (its current state is fine and no one really cares if it is painted or not), then I would say that it is "pentrota" but not "pentrenda".
It's a distinction (must vs. will) that is easy to make in English (and Esperanto) but perhaps not so much in other languages.
