verb transitive (as opposed to v.i. = verb intransitive)

Transitive verb. Takes a direct object. HIT the key.
Intransitive verbs never take adirect object. I WENT to the office. Copula verbs never have an object. I AM sure.

verb, transitive.
Every dictionary has a short section in the front that explains all the abbreviations it uses in the text.
