Usage notes

The difference between temo and objekto is nuanced. temo is a subject in the sense of a

topic
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/topic
that something is about, objekto is more of an
objective
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/objective
.

For example, Van Gogh's famous painting Starry Night might be said to have the night sky as its subject, but an emotion it expresses as its objective.
