When more than one [[direct object]] is used in a sentence, the particle [[e]] is repeated.
{{Example
|meli li open <mark>e</mark> lupa loje <mark>e</mark> lupa laso.
|The girls open the red door and the blue door.
|meli li open <mark>e </mark>lupa loje <mark>e </mark>lupa laso.
}}

In the "[[Dictionary (pu)|Official Toki Pona Dictionary]]" section, the book {{pu|en}} defines {{tp|e}} as:
{{pu def}}
==Misconceptions==
Line 36 ⟶ 46:
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.
