obj: direct object

The direct object of a verb is the noun phrase that denotes the entity acted upon.

In Turkish, direct objects typically take either nominative (unmarked), or accusative cases. An object can also be in ablative case if only part of it is affected by the predeicate (see below for an example). We do not mark arguments of verbs in other cases with obj, the obl relation is used for any “non-core” arguments and adjuncts.

Note that the above differs from, e.g., tabaktan yedim “I ate from the plate”, where relation should be obl.

We also mark the non-case marked or accusative noun phrases as obj even if they are not the entities that are acted upon.
