The root is obe-, so the infinitive is with two vowels running together and no consonant between them. Say them both, o-BE-i, and remember that the stress lands on the second-to-last vowel, which here is the e. It is normally transitive and takes a plain accusative, , though appears in older texts and is not wrong. Useful children: for obedience, a for obedient by disposition, and i for to disobey.
