The translation of the Causative is literal here. We have to consider that in translation we may use a different verb in English. If we look at the first example, the Causative of - "to know" - has been literally translated as - "to make know, to cause to know" - of course we may translate this verb into English as - "to notify, to publish etc..". We must always bear this in mind when translating Causative Verbs from Turkish into English. |
