"KONI" AND "SCII".
117. The verb "koni", which means "to know" in the sense of "to be
acquainted with" is used in speaking of persons, languages, places, etc.
"Koni" always has a direct object. It is never followed by "ke", "cxu",
"kiu", or any other interrogative word. "Scii" means "to know" in the
sense of "to be aware," "to have knowledge." It is not used in speaking
of persons.
[Footnote: "Koni" is equivalent to German "kennen", French "connaitre",
Spanish "conocer", while "scii" is equivalent to German "wissen", French
"savoir", Spanish "saber".]
