{{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]].

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}}.
 
{{Example
|mi toki e sina.
|<del>I talk to you.</del><br/>
I talk about you, I mention you.
