dobj: direct object

The dependency type dobj is used for (nominal) direct objects of the verb.

As in Finnish a passive clause does not have a subject, and what in English would be considered the passive subject, is in Finnish the direct object, the type nsubjpass is not used in TDT, but the type dobj is used instead.
