10.15. Use of the causative



                The  basic  meaning  of  the  causative  is  ‘someone  causes
                someone  else  to  do  something.’  The  person  who  does  the

                causing  is  indicated  by  the  particle  ga  or  wa.  The  person
                caused to perform the action takes the particle o if the verb

                is  intransitive,  and  the  particle  ni  if  the  verb  is  transitive.
