Malay (individual language) Grammar → Causative Verbs

Welcome to our lesson on Causative Verbs in Malay! In this lesson, we will explore an exciting aspect of the language that allows you to express actions that are caused or made to happen by someone or something. This is a fantastic way to enhance your communication skills in Malay, as it adds depth to your sentences and helps convey more complex ideas.

Why Learn Causative Verbs?[edit | edit source]

Understanding causative verbs is essential for any language learner, as they enable you to describe situations where one person causes another to perform an action. This is especially useful in daily conversations and in expressing relationships and intentions.

In this lesson, we will cover:

The definition and structure of causative verbs in Malay.

How to form causative verbs.

Examples of causative verbs in sentences.

Exercises to practice what you have learned.

So, let’s dive in!

What are Causative Verbs?[edit | edit source]

Causative verbs in Malay are verbs that indicate that one entity causes another entity to do something. In English, we might say "I had my car washed," where "had" is the causative verb, indicating that the action of washing was performed by someone else.

In Malay, this structure is achieved using specific causative verbs or constructions that imply causation.

Structure of Causative Verbs[edit | edit source]

In Malay, the causative structure can often be formed by using the verb "membuat" (to make/do) along with another verb. Here's a simplified structure:

Subject + Membuat + Object + Verb

For example:

Saya membuat dia belajar. (I make him/her study.)

You can also use certain verbs directly in a causative sense, such as "mengizinkan" (to allow) and "meminta" (to ask/request), which adds variety to your sentences.

Examples of Causative Verbs[edit | edit source]

Let’s look at some examples of causative verbs and their meanings. Below is a table that illustrates how these verbs work in sentences.

Malay (individual language)	Pronunciation	English
Saya membuat dia makan.	saya mʊmˈbʊat di.a ˈma.kən	I make him/her eat.
Dia mengizinkan saya pergi.	di.a mɛŋˈi.ziŋ.kən sa.ja pərˈɡi	He/She allows me to go.
Kami meminta mereka membantu.	ka.mi mɛmˈiŋ.tə mɛˈrɛ.kə mɛmˈbantu	We ask them to help.
Dia membuat saya ketawa.	di.a mʊmˈbʊat sa.ja kəˈta.wa	He/She makes me laugh.
Saya membuat dia belajar.	saya mʊmˈbʊat di.a bɛˈla.dʒar	I make him/her study.
Mereka mengizinkan kami masuk.	mɛˈrɛ.kə mɛŋˈi.ziŋ.kən ka.mi ˈma.suk	They allow us to enter.
Dia meminta saya pulang.	di.a mɛmˈiŋ.tə sa.ja puˈlaŋ	He/She asks me to return.
Kami membuat mereka senang.	ka.mi mʊmˈbʊat mɛˈrɛ.kə səˈnaŋ	We make them happy.
Dia mengizinkan saya bercuti.	di.a mɛŋˈi.ziŋ.kən sa.ja bərˈtʃu.ti	He/She allows me to take a holiday.
Saya meminta dia menjawab.	saya mɛmˈiŋ.tə di.a mɛnˈd͡ʒa.b	I ask him/her to answer.

As you can see from the examples above, causative verbs can enhance your sentences by allowing you to express who is responsible for the action.
