Quotative
A quotative (abbreviated QUOT) is a grammatical device to mark quoted speech in some languages, and as such it preserves the grammatical person and tense of the original utterance rather than adjusting it as would be the case with reported speech. It can be equated with "spoken quotation marks".

In Sinhala on the other hand, the equivalent sentence has an overt indication of reported speech after the reported string Wow, the quotative kiyalaa. In Japanese, the quotative と [to] is used to indicate reported speech in this sentence
