Transitiveness of verbs

Is there a way to know which Dovahzul verbs require an object? Some English translations require one, some do not, and some can be used either way. Example of this: Diin. "Okaaz dinaan"/"Thu'um drey diin kendov". Which of these, or both?

Unfortunately there's no way to know for certain. This question may be worthy of a discussion thread. Given the language's tendency to leave things to context, I think the simplest policy would be to say that all verbs can be used as intransitive verbs (insofar as leaving out the object of the sentence would not be grammatically incorrect).
