This is my first post (in a long time), so pardon me if I'm doing something wrong =s
I just wanted to know if I could/should use "al" with "rigardu". For instance:
Rigardu la hundon !
Or
Rigardu al la hundon !
If only one of them is correct, why? If both are correct, is there a difference?
Thanks in advance!

Therefore, "rigardu la hundon!" and "rigardu al la hundo!" are correct but *al la hundon is wrong.
Rigardu la hundon is more like - look at the dog! Rigardu al la hundo is more like - look in the direction of the dog! (but the actual thing you're looking at might not be the dog)

bryku:Rigardu al la hundo en la okulojn.Why wouldn't "look into the dog's eyes" be "Rigardu la okulojn de la hundo" or "Rigardu en la okulojn de la hundo"?

sparksbet:Unless I'm missing something these would work too, though maybe "rigardu la okulojn de la hundo" doesn't necesarily imply that your eyes meet the dog's eyes in a reciprocal stare. You could be examining its eyes while it's sleeping for example.bryku:Rigardu al la hundo en la okulojn.Why wouldn't "look into the dog's eyes" be "Rigardu la okulojn de la hundo" or "Rigardu en la okulojn de la hundo"?

sparksbet:Because "en la okulojn" means the direction, not just the eyes. I will not argue, however, I am not English.bryku:Rigardu al la hundo en la okulojn.Why wouldn't "look into the dog's eyes" be "Rigardu la okulojn de la hundo" or "Rigardu en la okulojn de la hundo"?
