lexicalized causative

grammar

6 sentences

A causative form that has settled into the lexicon as a stand-alone verb with its own meaning, no longer feeling like a productive 'cause to X' form. 見せる ('show,' from 見る), 知らせる ('inform,' from 知る), 食べさせる ('feed') are typical examples; some — like 見せる — have even displaced the productive causative entirely.
