The causative form ใใใ is used to express two main ideas: coercion (making someone do something) and permission (letting someone do something).
For Group 1 (U-verbs), change the final vowel to 'a' and add seru. For Group 2 (Ru-verbs), replace 'ru' with saseru.
The person being made/allowed to do the action is usually marked with the particle ใซ.
Iku -> Ikaseru
= 'To make/let someone go'

= 'To make/let someone eat'
