The marking of the direct object may depend on the verb form (see also UT010 and UT011). For instance, in Estonian, the imperative verb form takes an object in the nominative case (1a) and the negative verb form requires an object in the partitive case (1b).

(1) Estonian

a. Võta võti!

‘Take the key’

b. Ära võta võtit!
ära võta võti-t
NEG.IMP.2SG take.CNG key-PRT
‘Don’t take the key!’

Coding

The value is '1' if the verb conjugation form can have an effect on the case selection of the object (as in Estonian). When answering the question, only finite forms were considered; object conjugation was not considered.
