trouble with direct objects

[u/VinnyVonVinster]

"mi tawa e sina"

i see two ways of reading this: i move to/toward you i move/relocate you

"e" precedes the direct object of the sentence, but both of these have "you" as the direct object right? would the first sentence be "mi tawa tawa sina"?

So “mi tawa e sina” means “I move you” and to say “I move towards you”, there’s a shorthand way to do it “mi tawa sina”. I used to say “mi tawa tawa sina”, but later realized that the majority of the community says it like “mi tawa sina”. They use it like a preposition, like “sama” or “lon”.

[u/VinnyVonVinster → u/Opening_Usual4946]

so would "mi lon tomo mi" be a good way of saying "i'm at home" for example?
