The expletive attributives here suggest that the speaker feels strongly about the proposition being expressed. In Tzotzil, only nouns, verbs, and attributives can be inflected. Nouns may instead be converted directly into attributives with the suffix "-j-&colon; denja luso" "daylight". It can be seen that attributives are analysed variously as nouns, verbs, or adjectival nouns. Attributives are words that can function as predicates, but are neither verbs nor nouns.
