Voice is a feature of verbs that helps map the traditional syntactic functions,
such as subject and object, to semantic roles, such as agent and patient.

### <a name="Act">`Act`</a>: active voice

Prototypically, the subject of the verb is the doer of the action (agent), the object is affected by the action (patient).

All active participles are tagged `Voice=Act`. By default, the finite forms, ininitives and gerunds of non-reflexive and non-reciprocal verbs are also labeled `Voice=Act`, except for the cases when they are labeled `Voice=Pass` and `Voice=Mid`, see below.

Note, that causative suffixes _-ացն, -եցն, -ցն&nbsp;_ is used for transtivization of middle voice verbs. This verbs will have also `Voice=Act` (see below).

#### Examples

* _նա <b>ջարդեց</b> բաժակը&nbsp;_ “He <b>broke</b> the cup”
* _նա <b>կորցրեց</b> գիրքը&nbsp;_ “He <b>lost</b> the book” (but _գիրքը <b>կորավ</b>&nbsp;_ “The book was <b>lost</b>.`Mid`”)

### <a name="Pass">`Pass`</a>: passive voice

The subject of the verb is affected by the action (patient). The doer
(agent) is either unexpressed or it appears as an object of the verb.

Only the passive participle is tagged `Voice=Pass`.
