Not quite on the exact same topic, but what about using "tio" to replace a predicate phrase as we do with the word "that" in English?
e.g.
"I want to call her."
"Don't do that."
In Eo:
"Mi volas telefoni shin."
"Ne faru tio." (one friend suggested "Ne jeno faru", which looks cool but nor sure it's right)

chicago1:what about using "tio" to replace a predicate phrase as we do with the word "that" in English?.."Don't do that."Almost, but you need the accusative: Ne faru tion. The reason is that fari is taking a direct object, although "that" is not a precisely defined thing, which is the reason you are using tio.
In Eo:.."Ne faru tio."

Thanks. Yes, caught that after I sent it with the "tion." But thx for confirming.
(So "jeno" - which describes something being presented - is not even close then. Perhpas my friend meant something else starting with a "j", not sure.)
