Impersonal weather verbs can be used with a resultative construction. This requires the addition of an argument to a verb that otherwise takes no argument, so that the added argument can be the bearer of the acquired property, or can be moved into a particular spatial configuration as a result of the meteological process. Syntactically, the additional argument occupies the subject position of the verb, and the complementive follows the verb. The subject argument and complementive of the impersonal resultative is parallel to the additional object and complementive in the case of intransitive resultatives.The semantic precodition for felicitous use of impersonal verbs with the resultative is that the particular meteological condition should be able to bring about the result in question. This is illustrated by example (1) and (2).

In example (1), the impersonal verb reën to rain, illustrated in (1a), is converted into a resultative process, where the fact that it rains has a consequence for some entity. That entity, the third person plural pronoun hulle they in (1b), or the chances of a result in a cricket game in example (1c), is affected in such a way that a new state arises, which the complementive encodes. The obvious and frequent outcome of rain is that something becomes wet, as shown by the complementive sommer lekker nat just pleasantly wet in (1b). A more specialised outcome, in a sport like cricket, which is dependent on dry weather to be played, is that continuous rain makes it increasingly unlikely that there will be a result, as encoded by the complementive weg away. Thus, example (1c) illustrates the spatial possibility of the complementive, although in an abstract, rather than a concrete space.

Example (2) illustrates a different, typical weather verb, ryp to frost, with an outcome to some entity, typically that the grass dies in winter due to the frost. Without specifying the end state, dood dead, the expression is ungrammatical, as shown in (2bi), and without some entity, die gras the grass, the expression is also ungrammatical, if the dummy pronoun dit it is used in stead. Example (2bii) would be grammatically acceptable if dit is anaphoric and refers to grass or some other plant in the preceding discourse.
