COMPLEMENTARY RELATION

The object of the verb is always in the objective case determined by the corresponding article, or by a preposition. As

hi Pedro nagbabasa han surat (Peter reads the letter)
hirá nang̃atúrog ha sacayán (they sleep on the boat)
hi Tomás naruruyag hin pagcanhi (Thomas wishes to come; literally: Thomas wishes a coming)
mácadto acó ha Abúyog (I shall go to Abuyog).

The object of the verb to be is in the nominative case. As

an imo bahín, amo iní (your part is this)
an táuo mamarátyon (the man is mortal)
