The passive causative form of a verb means that something 'is made' to happen.
For both godan and ichidan verbs, the passive causative is made by first making the causative, then replacing the る with られる. For example:
た 食 べる eat ➜ た 食 べさせる make eat ➜ た 食 べさせられる is made to eat |
Although this construction seems like a lot of syllables to remember, it is actually quite regular, as られる is the standard combination used to form any passive, and once the causative itself is formed, that functions as a regular ichidan (る) verb.
This construction is sometimes known as the させられる construction, since for any verb formed by adding する to a noun, the passive causative is formed by adding させられる.
りょこう 旅行 する to travel ➜ りょこう 旅行 させられる is made to travel |
