  • The structure is heavily topic-comment structure.
  • The direct noun phrase is usually right after the verb phrase. This is not required, thougn moving it out of that position would be a definite demotion of topicality. Except maybe with heavy phrases.
  • More often than not, the focus will be in the direct case and usually indicates definiteness.
  • The sentence includes optional affect markers. These float around in the sentence.
