(Created page with "A '''content clause''' is a subclause that acts like a noun phrase. For example, the phrases in bold here are content clauses: # It's good '''that you're here'''. # I hope '''it won't rain'''. # '''That she apologized''' doesn't change anything. In Toaq, a simple content clause is made using {{Tone|5}}. Placing {{Tone|5}} on a verb starts a content clause, which lasts until the end of the clause it's in, or until the terminator {{t|cy}}. {{Example|Zảı jí...") |

'''[[Property|Properties]]''' are expressed in Toaq as {{tone|5}} content clauses containing {{t|ja}}. | |||
These correspond roughly to "non-finite" clauses in English that lack a subject, formed using "to" or "-ing": | |||
{{Example|Sủe nháo mí Ảna {{green|sôa ja fúy}} da.|He asked Ana {{green|to help him}}.}} | |||
{{Example|Rỉu jí {{green|gûaı tì núokua ja}} da.|I resume {{green|working in the bedroom}}.}} | |||
{{Example|Kủaı jí {{green|mâı sa pỏq ja}} da.|I desire {{green|to be loved by someone}}.}} | |||
