 This noun in the direct case can be the doer of the action, the recipient of the action, the purpose for the action, or the means by which the action was made possible; which are all argumentative roles.The direct case hides the noun's otherwise-evident argumentative role, which the verb then makes up for by conjugating with specific affixes that indicate which argumentative role the noun in the direct case has.Some Cebuano grammar teachers call the noun in the direct case the "Topic" of the sentence, but some others call it the "Focus, Voice," or "Trigger"; as the verb and the other nouns in the sentence have all their noun markers and affixes change accordingly.
