An in-depth investigation of passive sentence construction in Otjiherero has received very little attention so far, as many scholars have concentrated on passive extensions only without explaining how passivization works in Otjiherero. Thus this article focuses on providing a detailed description of Otjiherero passive grammatical features from a descriptive perspective.enArticle
