Answer:

Elvin told Many to open the window.

Explanation:

In this case, we must report an imperative sentence. When that happens, it is best to use verbs such as "tell", "ask", or "order" instead of "say". Then, before the imperative verb, we add "to", if it is an affirmative imperative. In case it is negative, we add "not to". Take a look at the examples below:

- Sarah said to Chris, "Leave me alone!" - Sarah asked Chris to leave her alone.

- Jenny said to Lisa, "Don't go in there." - Jenny told Lisa not to go in there.

Having that in mind, we can safely change the sentence below from direct to indirect speech:

Elvin said to Manu, "open the window." --> Elvin told Manu to open the window.
