Hi, I'm learning vocabulary on the drops app, and they use this frase: Kion vi opiniis pri la festo?
I get that the n is supposed to indicate the acusative, but I don't understand how that's the case here. Why can't I use kio?

Btw. I struggle with theese words in general, like kio, kia, kie... I don't know what they are called. Do you have any page where they are all explained?
Thank you

See chapter 13 of the grammar on this site: Korelativoj/correlatives.

Opinii is transitive. It expects a complement with -n.
Eg. Mi opinias nenion

Mi is the subject. You can't have two subjects in the same phrase.

Ok, makes sense, thank you.
