An example involving a passive participle is given below:

1
De dieven binne sjoen troch de plysje
the thieves are seen by the police
The thieves have been seen by the police

The passive participle necessarily belongs to a transitive verb. The passive participle is identical to the perfect participle in Frisian, and, in fact, in all Germanic and Romance languages.
