Review Summary
- Subject + [Intermediary] + ਰਾਹੀਂ + Object + [Root+va] + verb
よくある間違い
Using the base verb instead of the causative form misses the nuance of delegation.
You must include the postposition 'ਰਾਹੀਂ' to signify the intermediary agent.
Compound verbs like 'karva lena' (to get done for oneself) are more natural in this context.
