Lesson 23 - The Causative Flashcards
1
Q
How is the causative formed?
A
By adding -e / -aya / -āpe / -āpaya to
the root or verbal base.
Sometimes the vowel in the root is
strengthened when the suffixes are added.
Verbal bases ending in -e / -aya invariably take the suffixes -ape / -āpaya to form the causative.
In sentences with causative verbs the agent carrying out the action is expressed by the accusative or the instrumental case.
