pl. The boss is having the letter typed now. (A főnök most gépelteti a levelet.)
► Használata:
elvégeztet vmit, MEGKÉR, UTASÍT vkit vmi elvégzésére (have sy. do sg.)
Ha a cselekvést úgy végeztetjük el valakivel, hogy arra őt utasítani kell, meg kell rá kérni.

► Felépítése:
GET + akivel csináltatjuk + az ige ”TO” + szótári alakja + tárgy, amit csináltatunk
(műveltető ige (a cselekvés, amit csináltatunk) (a cselekvés tárgya)
- minden
igealakban
használható)
Megjegyzés:
A ”get”-es a kevésbé direkt, enyhébb jelentésű szerkezet – sokszor a cselekvés végzője és végeztetője között
barátibb jellegű kapcsolatról is árulkodik.
elvégeztet vmit, KÉSZTET, KÉNYSZERÍT, RÁVESZ (make sy. do sg.)
pl. You make me laugh. (Megnevettetsz.) – tkp. arra késztetsz, hogy nevessek
The film made her cry. (A film megríkatta. / Sírt a filmen.)
– tkp. a film arra késztette, hogy sírjon
I tried to make her smile, but I couldn't.
(Próbáltam megmosolyogtatni, de nem tudtam.)
– tkp. rá akartam venni, hogy mosolyogjon
pl. It makes you look fatter. (Ez kövérít. / Ebben kövérnek látszol.)
Let's make our voice heard. (Hallassuk a hangunkat!)► Felépítése:
Megjegyzés: a ”make”-kel való műveltetés esetén nem feltétlenül kell, hogy a cselekvésnek legyen tárgya!
Egyéb szerkezetek:
Alakja:
a cselekvés okozója + CAUSE + akinek okoz vmit + to + szótári alak (amilyen cselekvésre késztet)
pl. The disgusting smell caused me to leave. (Az undorító szag miatt távoztam.)
- a szag okozta, hogy távozzak
The rain caused the match to be cancelled. (Az eső miatt törölték a meccset.)
- az eső okozta, hogy törölték a meccset

NEED TO + MŰVELTETÉS
Amikor a műveltetés párosul a ’need (to)’ igével, a szerkezet bonyolultságát az angolok leegyszerűsítik
azzal, hogy a műveltetés helyett az ige –ing-es alakját használják, és a megcsináltatandó dolgot a mondat
alanyaként használják.
pl. You need to have your hair cut.
Egyéb tudnivalók:
Gondot okoz, hogy a két nyelv igen eltérő módon gondolkodik az ilyen fajta eseményekről és
körülményeikről. Sokszor a magyar műveltető szerekezetet használ, az angol azonban nem, és persze
fordítva:
a) Néha egy angol mondatban műveltető szerkezet van, de ha magyarul műveltetésként (-tat, -tet) fordítjuk
le, nem lesz jó. Ilyenkor ne erőltessük, fordítsuk másképp!
Ezt ha "Kiüttettem a fogam a buszmegállóban" mondatra fordítjuk, elég félreérthető eredményt kapunk.
A jelentése egyszerűen " Kiütötték a fogam a megállóban", esetleg "Én marha hagytam, hogy kiüssék a
fogam a megállóban" lesz.
Ugyanígy a "She had her car stolen" esetén. Nem ő lopatta el a saját kocsiját, biztosítási csalás folyamán,
hanem egyszerűen ellopták.
b) Vannak olyan mondatok is, melyek a magyar változat alapján műveltetést igényelnének, az angolban
viszont nem műveltető szerkezet kell. (Úgy is értelmezhetjük, hogy az angolban bizonyos igék eleve
visszaható jelentésűek is lehetnek)
pl. walk (sétáltat)
employ (foglalkoztat)
run (futtat, folyat)
