Lesson 23 1. The Causative Causative verbs are formed by adding -e / -aya / -āpe / -āpaya to the root or verbal base. Sometimes the vowel in the root is strengthened when the suffixes are
added.
In sentences with causative verbs the agent carrying out the action is expressed by the accusative or the instrumental case. 2. Examples in sentence formation Mother gets the sister to cook rice. Bhūpālo samaṇe ca yācake ca bhojāpesi. Coro mittena kakacaṃ corāpetvā vanaṃ dhāvi. Vejjo puttena āpaṇamhā khīraṃ kiṇāpesi. Upāsakā amaccena samaṇānaṃ vihāraṃ kārāpesuṃ.
