I've been reading the detailed info about suffixes and saw this sentence. How can the undefined pronoun contain an imperative verb? What does that mean? Does it mean that "they-some-people need to respond to it"?

Why shouldn't this be possible?

One mustn't tell lies. = Oni ne mensogu.

Here is a similar construction that might surprise you as well: "Kion ni faru?" (What should we do?)

The conjugation in -u expresses more than just the imperative.

yyaann:The conjugation in -u expresses more than just the imperative.
The u-form does indeed cover the spectrum of exhortative, cohortative, adhortative, propositive, jussive, optative and imperative.
