'Denā' means to give directly, while 'dilānā' is the causative form meaning 'to cause someone to give' or 'to get something for someone'.
Notes d'usage
In compound verb structures, 'denā' suggests the action is directed outwards or for the benefit of another person. When used with an infinitive in the oblique case (e.g., 'karne denā'), it means 'to let someone do'.
Erreurs courantes
Learners often forget to use the Ergative marker 'ne' with the subject in perfective (past) tenses because it is a transitive verb. Also, the recipient of the gift must take the postposition 'ko'.
