{{tp|e}} marks the direct object of the verb.
{{Example
|mi moku e telo.
|I drink water.
}}
==Misconceptions==
; mi toki e sina▼
The biggest confusion around {{tp|e}} comes from not knowing what the direct object is. For example, in the sentence below, the direct object is {{tp|sina}}, meaning that the subject is talking about someone, instead of to someone. The correct sentence would be {{tp|mi toki tawa sina}}.
: <del>I talk to you</del>▼
{{Example
I talk about you, I mention you.
}}
Remembering what is what isn't as hard as it seems; in English, the direct object never has a preposition. So if in the sentence you're translating, the "object" has a preposition before it (such as to, for, from, etc), it's not the direct object.
