kepeken e: Difference between revisions

[[kepeken e]] is the site of contention in a debate about toki pona grammar. It is a "corner case" whose interpretation is uncertain: everyone agrees that it is /''possible/'' to follow the [[preposition]] [[kepeken]] with the [[transitivizing]] [[particle]] [[e]], but it is not clear what such a construction means, nor whether it should be used. After 2020, the appearance of transitive [[prepositional phrases]] (that is, prepositional phrases that act as the [[predicate]] of a sentence and that take an [[object]] introduced by [[e]]) made this problem more complex. However, as of 2023 these constructions are still relatively uncommon, and the whole problem of whether [[e]] should follow [[kepeken]] remains of minor interest for those who are not specialists in the study of [[toki pona]] grammar.
