({e'o} concerns a request more than a command.)

The difference between

a) three apples

and

b) three specific apples

is that (b) explicitly speaks of entities to which some restrictive
piece of information other than "be-apple" can be attributed. I think
{poi co'e} would do the job:

ko dunda ci plise poi co'e
Give (me) three apples which are/do something.

It doesn't specify which apples, but it is meant to refer to specific apples.
