💡

The 'Feed' Rule

If you want to say 'feed', don't look for a new word. Just take 'eat' (ուտել) and use the causative 'կերակրել' or 'ուտեցնել'.

💡

The 'Remind' Shortcut

Instead of saying 'make me remember,' just use 'հիշեցնել'. It's the most common causative verb you'll use.

🎯

The Past Tense Shift

When you move to the past tense, the 'ն' (n) in the suffix changes to 'ր' (r). So 'վազեցնել' becomes 'վազեցրեց'. This is the #1 thing that trips up B1 learners.

🎯

The 'Service' Shortcut

If you are paying for it, you are almost certainly using 'տալ'. Use this as a mental shortcut for all professional services.

Yes! You can use it for things like 'heating water' (ջուրը տաքացնել) or 'shortening a dress' (զգեստը կարճացնել).

It depends on the original verb. -ալ verbs take -ացնել, and -ել verbs take -եցնել.

No, it is primarily for verbs ending in -ել and -ենալ. Verbs ending in -ալ use -ացնել.

It literally means 'to make understand,' but it is most commonly used to mean 'to hint' or 'to signal'.

Almost all! Most -ել and -ալ verbs take these suffixes. However, some verbs like տեսնել (to see) use a different word entirely (ցույց տալ - to show).
