Transitive verbs are marked with a class denoting the preposition to use with them. When using a transitive verb, place the prepositional pronoun at the end of the sentence/clause. Some verbs are only transitive, some are intransitive but prepositional pronouns are used to give more meaning to the specifics of how the action is carried out, think of walking to somebody versus walking with somebody.
Class: Prepositional Pronoun:
IT Inessive (irim, irit etc)
ST Supraessive (erim, erit etc)
CT Comitative (lem, let etc)
PT Privative (gam, gáit etc)
Dropping the prepositional pronoun if the meaning can be conveyed through context is commonplace. Note that some verbs change meaning when transitive. There are some verbs that are usually used with a specific prepositional pronoun but this is not manditory, see earlier where it is used to describe the action (adverbs can still be used in these cases).
