Keep and apart: the first is the drop, the second is the act of crying. English lets tear do both jobs in phrases like in tears, but Esperanto wants the right one, so crying is and is an Anglicism best avoided - say . The verb larmi exists for eyes that water without real weeping, which is a genuinely useful distinction. intensifies: , to laugh until you cry. The plural is the normal form.
