Though resultative verbs sometimes resemble passive transitive verbs in English, they are in fact a class of intransitive verbs in Pohnpeian, which entirely lacks a comparable active-passive voice distinction.
Kuigi resultatiivsed verbid sarnanevad mõnikord inglise keele passiivsete sihiliste verbidega, on need poonpei keeles tegelikult sihitute verbide klass, millel puudub täielikult aktiivi-passiivi eristamine.
