===Confusion with preposition marker===
{{tp|e}} does not introduce the object of a [[preposition]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=How to Use Prepositions|author=jan Juli|url=https://github.com/kilipan/nasin-toki#how-to-use-prepositions|website=nasin toki pona|date=2022-09-23|urldate=2024-01-16}}</ref> Nevertheless, it is sometimes used to introduce the [[Prepositions#Transitive_prepositional_phrases|direct object of a prepositional phrase]].
{{tp|e}} does <em>not</em> introduce the object of a [[preposition]].
 
{{Example|mi lon ma kasi.|I am in a land of plants.}}
 
If {{tp|e}} is used in that position, it invokes a non-prepositional sense of the word.
 
{{Example
|mi lon <mark>e</mark> ma kasi.
|I created the land of plants.
|mi lon <mark>e </mark>ma kasi
}}
 
This distinction extends to [[Prepositions#Transitive prepositional phrases|transitive prepositional phrases]], a nonstandard grammatical construction. Speakers who use this style use {{tp|e}} to introduce the direct object of the prepositional phrase.
 
{{Example
|mi lon ma <mark>e</mark> kasi.
|I put-in-the-soil the plants.
|mi lon ma <mark>e </mark>kasi.
}}
