🎯

The 'Ke' Rule

Always remember that the person who is being 'caused' to do something needs the '-ke' suffix. It's the most common error for B1 learners.

🎯

The 'Show' vs 'See' Trick

Always remember: Dekha (See) -> Dekhano (Show). If you want someone to look at something, use the 'ano' version!

🎯

The 'Benefit' Rule

Always add 'neoa' (নিয়ে) after the causative verb if the work is being done for your own benefit. Example: 'Koriye nilam' instead of just 'koralam'.

🎯

The 'o' to 'u' Rule

Whenever you see a verb with an 'o' sound like 'shona' or 'oth-a', expect it to become 'u' in the causative ('shunano', 'uthano'). This is the mark of a fluent speaker.

常见问题 (6)

Almost every action verb can. However, some stative verbs or verbs that are already causative in nature might not take the suffix.
Primarily yes, but it can be used metaphorically, like 'ghush khaoyano' (to feed a bribe/to bribe).
'Kora' means to do something yourself. 'Korano' means to make someone else do it or get it done by someone.
Use the causative of 'Pora' (to read/study), which is 'Porano'. So, 'Ami poracchi'.
Yes, you can. For example, আমি ঘোড়াকে দিয়ে গাড়ি টানাই (I make the horse pull the cart).
No. If you don't mention the agent, you don't need diye. E.g., আমি কাজটা করালাম (I had the work done).
