is transitive and stays transitive: it always needs an object. English lets you say "the boy hid" with nothing after it, but Esperanto makes you say what got hidden, so it is sin or is. Note also that you hide a thing someone, not from them, which reads backwards to an English eye. The root is generous: kaŝe means secretly, o is a hiding place, and describes anything concealed.
