Introduction

In the previous lesson, you learned how to add ~게 하다 to words to create the meaning of "making" or "letting" somebody do something. In this lesson, we will look at another way you can express that you are "making" somebody do something - by using the ending ~시키다. Using ~시키다 is similar to using ~게 하다, but we want you to look at this lesson so you can understand the differences between the two.

To make: ~시키다

You can replace some words in Korean that end in ~하다 with ~시키다 to create the meaning of "to make somebody." Three easy examples I can show you are:

감동하다 = to be impressed

감동시키다 = to impress (to make somebody impressed)

흥분하다 = to be aroused/excited

흥분시키다 = to arouse/excite (to make somebody aroused/excited)

실망하다 = to be disappointed

실망시키다 = to disappoint (to make somebody disappointed)

Examples of these specific words in use:

나는 시험을 못 봐서 부모님들을 실망시켰어 = Because I didn't do well on the test, I disappointed my parents

여자친구를 감동시키는 가장 좋은 방법은 뭐에요? = What is the best way to impress one's girlfriend?
