Review Summary

  • Subject + [Intermediary] + ਰਾਹੀਂ + Object + [Root+va] + verb

أخطاء شائعة

Using the base verb instead of the causative form misses the nuance of delegation.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਕੰਮ ਲਿਖਿਆ। (I wrote the work.)
صحيح: ਮੈਂ ਕੰਮ ਲਿਖਵਾਇਆ। (I got the work written.)

You must include the postposition 'ਰਾਹੀਂ' to signify the intermediary agent.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਕਰਵਾਇਆ। (I did it through him - missing 'through' marker)
صحيح: ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਵਾਇਆ। (I got the work done through him.)

Compound verbs like 'karva lena' (to get done for oneself) are more natural in this context.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਵਾਇਆ ਹੈ। (I have gotten the work done - wrong tense consistency)
صحيح: ਮੈਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਵਾ ਲਿਆ ਹੈ। (I have successfully gotten the work done.)
