→Simple predicative expressions
| Line 195: | Line 195: | ||
In Tsan, the predicative complement of an expression is equivalent to the predicate itself. All content words are predicates in their own right, due to a copula suffix. This copula is a null suffix in the third person proximate, but it congruates with the subject. The subject does not need to be independent, and is only marked on the predicate. | In Tsan, the predicative complement of an expression is equivalent to the predicate itself.
