2.2.1.2. Transitive Verb:

The transitive verb takes an object. As mentioned above the subject of a transitive is declined for the nominative case. There are two nominative case suffixes whose occurrence is conditioned by the tense of the transitive verb. -ya occurs when the verb is in the past and -sa occurs when the verb is in the non-past. The transitive verb is formed by adding -a in the verb in the non-past tense and there is no difference in the past tense.
