The passive voice in Surkian
If you want to make a sentence passive: put ye(t)- directly in front of the verb (as a prefix) and add tey after it (not directly, use a space first!). Confusing? Here, some examples:
 * 1) So mäl yeleutänur tey eke. -VS- Ek leutätu so mäl.

(The man was led by me. -VS- I led the man).
 * 1) Ek sysätu se orter. -VS- Se ort yesysänun tey eke.

(I chose the house. -VS- The house was chosen by me). 1-left and 2-right are passive and 1-right and 2-left are active voices. Did you recognise them?
