===Complementiser===
The propositional subject markers '''''ä-''''', '''''äqä-''''' and '''''ähä-''''' function as a complementiser akin to "that", attaching to the beginning of the predicate of a clause and marking it as the subject of the matrix clause. '''''Ä-''''' and '''''ähä-''''' are frequently used with the former referring to definite facts and events and the latter referring to the generalised idea. The following examples should elucidate the difference.
