causative verb 라고 하면 생소하지만 우리가 익히 아는 사역동사로 말하는 화자가 하는 것이 아닌 시키는 or 시켜지는 동사.
If you want to mention who does an action for you because you instruct them or ask them to, use "have somebody do something".
Example | 내용 |
---|---|
"I got my hair cut." | The action, not the person who does the action, is important |
"I need to get my eyes tested" | 내가 내 눈을 검사하는 것이 아니며 내 눈은 검사의 주체가 아닌 객체가 되는 경우 |

---|---|
I cut my hair | I did the action |
I had my hair cut | I paid somebody to do the action - focus on the action |
I had my mom cut my hair | My mom did the action - - focus on the person who does the action |
