Causative verbs in Hindi are mainly formed by adding
a suffix -आ/aa or -वा/vaa to the verb root. Causative verbs are part of the main verb and not the auxiliary verbs.
The causative verb forms denote that the person who is performing the action is doing so at the instigation of someone else.
लड़की सो रही है.
laDakii so rahii hai.
(The girl is sleeping.)
नौकरानी लड़की को सुला रही है.
naukaraanii laDakii sulaa rahii hai.
(The girl is sleeping.)
