temi - to be about, to be on the subject of
and the Reta Vortaro:
1. Havi kiel temon.
2. (sensubjekte) La temo, la demando estas pri, la afero koncernas.
I think I understand the first meaning, but what about when used as thus:
"Ne temis pri ŝajnigo"
Am I correct that it is the second definition that is implied here? If so, I would like to understand what it means, and if not, well then, I guess I may need abit more explanation.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
William

Wilhelm:"Ne temis pri ŝajnigo"This means "It wasn't about pretending".
A couple more examples:
Pri kio temas la prelego? What is the lecture about?
[Ĝi] temas pri komputiloj. It is about computers. Its subject is computers.
Hope this helps.

"Pri kio temas la prelego?"
"About what themes the lecture?"
"What is the theme of the lecture?"
"What is the lecture about?"

Another way to think of it is to translate it as
"It's a matter of" or "it's a question of" or simply, "it's about"
La mono ne gravas, temas pri principo
= The money's not important, (it's) a matter of principle
