A predicative verb is a verb that behaves as a grammatical adjective; that is, it predicates (qualifies or informs about the properties of its argument). It is a special kind of stative verb.
Many languages do not use the present forms of the verb "to be" to separate an adjective from its noun: instead, these forms of the verb "to be" are understood as part of the adjective. Egyptian uses this structure: "my mouth is red" is written as "red my mouth" (/dSr=f r=i/). Other languages to use this structure include the Northwest Caucasian languages, the Thai language, Indonesian, the East Slavic languages, the Semitic languages, some Nilotic languages and the Athabaskan languages. Many adjectives in Chinese and Japanese also behave like this.
In the Akkadian languages, the "predicative" (also called the "permansive" or "stative") is a set of pronominal inflections used to convert noun stems into effective sentences, so that the form šarrāku is a single word more or less equivalent to either of the sentences šarrum anāku "I am king" or šarratum anāku "I am queen".

Subject And Predicate Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what or whom the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. Sentence = Subject + Predicate Example 1: Birds fly. Even though there are only two words in this sentence, it does meet the three requirements of a complete sentence. The sentence is about birds (subject); the word fly (the verb) tells us what birds do (the predicate), and the sentence also expresses a complete thought. Example 2: The little puppy nestled in the child's lap. In this case, the little puppy is the subject of the sentence because the puppy (the simple subject) is what the sentence is about. What did the puppy do? It nestled in the child's lap; therefore, these...
