nsubj: nominal subject
The nsubj marks nominal subjects of the non-copular clause. Being Basque a morphologically ergative language, subjects of transitive verbs are marked with the ergative case, while subjects of intransitive verbs are marked with the absolutive case.
Example of a subject in an intransitive sentence (ABS case):
Bi zati hauek markaturik dauden tokietatik tolesten dira .
These two parts fold by the sites that are marked .
Bi zati hauek markaturik dauden tokietatik tolesten dira . \n Two parts these marked are_that sites_the_by fold .
