I came across the words "reagi," "repliki," and "respondi." Does anyone care to explain the difference between the three?
To my understanding I believe reagi is to "react" which could be physical while "repliki" and "respondi" are respond and reply, which are verbal. Will anyone clear this up for me?

reagi is to react
repliki -- I personally use this word almost never. It means to respond to what someone else said - to respond to something that someone asserted in a discussion
respondi -- "to respond" in the broadest sense. You respond to a question, a comment, an e-mail. It doesn't have to be a response to an assertion or an argument (like repliki has to be), but it can be a response to an assertion or argument. You will use this word a lot.
