'''Transitivity''' is a property of [[verb]]s that relates to whether a verb can take objects[[object]]s. In [[Toki Pona]] [[grammar]], any [[content word]] may be used a verb, either transitively or intransitively, by being placed in the [[predicate]]. A transitive verb introduces the [[direct object]] with the particle {{tp|[[e]]}}.
