MŰVELTETŐ SZERKEZET (Causative)

● A műveltetés azt jelenti, hogy valakivel, valamivel csináltatunk valamit.


● A műveltetés formái:

HA NEM FONTOS, HOGY KIVEL VÉGEZTETJÜK A CSELEKVÉST

MEGCSINÁLTAT valamit (általában professzionális munkát) (have sg. done)

► Felépítése:

HAVE/GET + tárgy, amit csináltatunk + az ige 3. alakja (+by sy.)


(műveltető ige (a cselekvés tárgya) (a cselekvés, amit (akivel csináltatjuk)
- minden igealakban csináltatunk)
használható)

pl. The boss is having the letter typed now. (A főnök most gépelteti a levelet.)

Megjegyzés: A ”have” és a ”get” nem teljesen ugyanazt fejezi ki!


A ’get’ használatos, amikor
a) hangsúlyozni akarjuk, hogy valamit muszáj megcsináltatni
pl. I must get my car repaired. (Muszáj megjavíttatnom az autómat.)
b) valakit felszólítunk valami megcsináltatására
pl. Get your hair cut. (Vágasd le a hajadat!)
c) valamilyen sikerélmény fűződik hozzá
pl. I managed to get the car fixed. (Sikerült megjavíttatnom az autómat.)

► Használata:

Általában olyan cselekvés elvéheztetésére utalunk vele, amihez valamilyen szaktudás


szükséges.

● Ha egyértelmű, kivel végeztetjük a cselekvést (általában, ha szakemberrel


végeztetjük)
pl. We will have the house painted. (Ki fogjuk festetni a házat.)
– egyértelmű, hogy egy szakemberrel (festővel) fogjuk végeztetni
● Ha nem tudjuk vagy nem akarjuk megnevezni a végrehajtóját
pl. I had my skirt shortened. (Lerövidíttettem a szoknyámat.)
– nem fontos, vagy nem akarom megnevezni, hogy kivel végeztettem

► Ha mégis meg akarjuk nevezni, hogy kivel végeztetjük a cselekvést


Ilyenkor a ”by” elöljárószóval kapcsoljuk a cselekvés végzőjét (aki általában valaki hozzáértő
ember, de nem feltétlenül szakember)
Így nyomatékot kap a cselekvés végrehajtójának megnevezése.
pl. We will have the house painted by Peter. (Peterrel fogjuk kifestetni a házat.)
– ki akarom emelni, hogy kivel fogjuk elvégeztetni
(Peter valószínűleg nem szakember, de ért hozzá)
HA MEGNEVEZZÜK, HOGY KIVEL VÉGEZTETJÜK A CSELEKVÉST

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.

pl. The boss had the secretary type the letter.


(A főnök legépeltette a levelet a titkárnővel.)
– tkp. a főnök erre autasította a titkárnőt

► Felépítése:

HAVE + akivel csináltatjuk + az ige szótári alakja + tárgy, amit csináltatunk


(műveltető ige (a cselekvés, amit csináltatunk) (a cselekvés tárgya)
- minden
igealakban
használható)

pl. The boss had the secretary type the letter.


(A főnök legépeltette a levelet a titkárnővel.)

elvégeztet vmit, RÁVESZ, RÁBESZÉL, MEGKÉR vkit vmi elvégzésére


(get sy. to do sg.)
Ha a cselekvést úgy végeztetjük el valakivel, hogy arra őt rávesszük, rábeszéljük (tkp.
kerítünk vkit vmi elvégzésére).

pl. Peter got his sister to type the letter.


(Peter legépeltette a levelet a nővérével.)
– tkp. Peter erre rávette/rábeszélte a nővérét

► Felépítése:

GET + akivel csináltatjuk + az ige ”TO” + szótári alakja + tárgy, amit csináltatunk
(műveltető ige (a cselekvés, amit csináltatunk) (a cselekvés tárgya)
- minden
igealakban
használható)

pl. Peter got his sister to type the letter.


(Peter legépeltette a levelet a nővérével.)

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.)

● Ha valakit valamilyen cselekedetre késztetünk/kényszerítünk/ráveszünk (= ’arra késztet


/ kényszerít vkit, hogy…’; ’Eléri, hogy…’)

pl. The teacher made us translate long sentences.


(A tanár hosszú mondatokat fordíttatott le velünk.)
– tkp. a tanár erre kötelezett
The guests made Ben play the piano.
(A vendégek rávették Ben-t, hogy zongorázzon.)
– tkp. a vendégek erre rábeszélték, elérték, hogy megtegye
I will make him do my homework.
(Meg fogom csináltatni vele a házi feladatomat.)
- tkp. erre fogom rávenni
The bank robber made everyone lie on the floor.
(A bankrabló mindenkit arra kényszerített, hogy a padlóra feküdjön.)

● Ha valakiből valamilyen érzelmet váltunk ki (vmilyen érzelmi megnyilvánulásra


késztetjük)

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

● „Valamilyenné tesz” jelentésben (…-ít)


(Vigyázat! A magyar mondatban ilyenkor néha nem ismerjük fel, hogy az angolban
műveltetés kell!)

pl. It makes you look fatter. (Ez kövérít. / Ebben kövérnek látszol.)
Let's make our voice heard. (Hallassuk a hangunkat!)► Felépítése:

MAKE + akivel csináltatjuk + az ige szótári alakja + tárgy, amit csináltatunk


(műveltető ige (a cselekvés, amit csináltatunk) (a cselekvés tárgya
- minden – ha van)
igealakban
használható)

pl. The boss made the secretary type the letter.


(A főnök legépeltette a levelet a titkárnővel.)

Megjegyzés: a ”make”-kel való műveltetés esetén nem feltétlenül kell, hogy a cselekvésnek legyen tárgya!

A szerkezet szenvedővé is átalakítható. Ez esetben a cselekvést ’to’-val kell kapcsolnunk!


pl. My boss made me work hard. → I was made to work hard (by my boss).
HALADÓKNAK

Egyéb szerkezetek:

AZT OKOZZA, HOGY…; … miatt …

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

AZ ALANYRA VISSZAUTALÓ MŰVELTETÉS

Alakja:

make + visszaható névmás + az ige 3. alakja

(Visszaható névmások: myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves)


pl. He can't make himself understood. (Nem tudja / bírja megértetni magát.)

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.

Your hair needs cutting.

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!

pl. I had my tooth knocked out at the bus stop.

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)

Peti, sétáltatsd meg a kutyát! → Peter, walk the dog!


Folyass nekem egy kis meleg vizet!  Run some hot water for me.
Futtatsd le a vírusírtó programot!  Run the anti-virus programme.
Majd tudatom veletek, ha megjön.  I will let you know when he arrives.
