'''Preverb marking''' is an experimental {{tp|nasin}} for {{tp|[[toki pona]]}} that allows speakers to explicitly separate the [[Preverb|preverbs]] of a sentence from the main [[predicate]], often using a {{tp|nimisinnimi sin}}. This makes preverbs a grammatical position rather than a lexical class, allowing for the usage of all [[content word]]s as descriptors for a main state or process.
 
{{tp|ta}} and {{tp|ni}} are established options for a preverb-marking particle. Both work the same in practice, but one might be preferred to another in a given {{tp|nasin}} based off of disambiguation or intuitiveness. Similarly to {{tp|[[e]]}}, the meaning resulting from use of {{tp|ta}} and {{tp|ni}} varies depending on the type of word included in the preverb phrase.
