Erreurs courantes
Simply using the verb does not imply you are the cause. You must use the -ippikka suffix to show you are making them perform the action.
Causative verbs usually require a target (the person being caused to act) marked with -ekkonda.
Do not use the causative suffix for your own actions. Only use it when someone else is the doer.
