In Northern Mansi, the determinate conjugation indicates the person and number of the subject, and the number of the object. If the object is expressed by a personal pronoun, it is morphologically marked and also reflected in the verbal morphology (2). In other cases, the object is unmarked and only the verbal suffix refers to it (1) (Kálmán 1976, Riese 2001).
