I'm very much a beginner and working through the new lernu Esperanto course, and got stuck on the third set of exercises in chapter 5. The exercise requires you to write a sentence in the format provided in the example below, and I've been getting all of the singular exercises right so far. However, I can't seem to get the plurals right - I've tried "Tioj" and "Tiuj" but they are always marked incorrect. Can you tell me where I might be going wrong?
Example: li + ideo = Tio estas lia ideo.
Plural: li + ideoj = Tioj/Tiuj estas lia ideoj. ???
Thanks!

I think you're doing great with the plurals of tio and tiu! Remember that your possessive adjective (lia) needs to agree with the noun it's modifying.
Singular: lia ideo
Plural: liaj ideoj
My recommendation: Try "Tioj/Tiuj estas liaj ideoj."
Amike

91. Kio, kiu, kia.
Rimarko: La io-vortoj estas uzataj nur ununombre: Per kio (ne «kioj») iras la homoj? Per la piedoj.
Do:
"Tio estas liaj ideoj".
"Tiuj estas liaj ideoj."

PklPod:Hi,Never use 'tioj'! It's grammatically incorrect. As Frano said above, -io words are only used in the singular, whereas -iu words can apply to both the singular and the plural.

In short tio = that and tiu = that one.
