Review Summary

  • Verb Root + ippikka

자주 하는 실수

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.

Wrong: ഞാൻ അവനെ എഴുതുന്നു.
정답: ഞാൻ അവനെക്കൊണ്ട് എഴുതിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

Causative verbs usually require a target (the person being caused to act) marked with -ekkonda.

Wrong: അവൻ ചെയ്യിക്കുന്നു.
정답: അവൻ എന്നെക്കൊണ്ട് ചെയ്യിക്കുന്നു.

Do not use the causative suffix for your own actions. Only use it when someone else is the doer.

Wrong: ഞാൻ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിപ്പിക്കുന്നു (for 'I eat').
정답: ഞാൻ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിക്കുന്നു.

The suffix is -ippikka. It turns a verb into a causative form.
Add it to the verb root and include the agent with -kond.
