Tulu Lesson 11: Causative Verbs

namaskAra!

Hello everyone,

Today we are going to learn causative verbs. Causative verbs express the idea of somebody causing something to happen or causing another person to do something. Let us learn how to make the causative verbs.

To make causative forms for Class A verbs, add ‘pA’ suffix and for Class B verbs, add ‘A’ suffix to root verb. This gives us a whole new set of verbs that are easy to memorize since they are made using the verbs we are already familiar with.
