The '''agentative''' ({{sc|agt}}) case is used to mark the subject, or agent, of transitive verbs. However, intertwined with the Ris language's distinction on control and volition, there is a distinction on intransitives, marking high control intransitives with the agentative argument.

*The agentive is often marked with an <''-r''> on nouns.
*On verbs, the agentive uses the suffix <''-in''> to agree with a high-control subject, or an agentive noun. It is used if the agentive pronoun is omitted. However, this is not completely true; please see the section on [[Ris#Inverse marking|inverse marking]].
