dobj: direct object

A direct object is a nominal which is the (accusative) object of the verbal predicate.

Han äter en smörgås . \n He eats a sandwich .
dobj(äter, smörgås)

If there is only one object present, it is always analyzed as dobj regardless of the semantic relation to the predicate. If there are two objects, the one most directly related to the verb is treated as the direct object.

Han informerar dig . \n He informs you .
dobj(informerar, dig)
Han skickar dig information . \n He sends you information .
dobj(skickar, information)
iobj(skickar, dig)
