[[Verbs]] [[in]] [[Hausa]] [[are]] [[categorized]] [[according]] [[to]] [[a]] [[system]] [[of]] [[grades]]. [[Grade]] [[5]] ([[v5]] [[in]] [[dictionaries]]) [[is]] [[the]] [[grade]] [[that]] [[is]] [[sometimes]] [[referred]] [[to]] [[as]] [[the]] [[causative]] [[grade]] [[because]] [[it]] [[generally]] [[conveys]] [[a]] [[meaning]] [[of]] [[causing]] [[the]] [[object]] [[of]] [[the]] [[verb]] [[to]] [[do]] [[something]]. | |||
[[The]] [[basic]] [[features]] [[of]] [[a]] [[v5]] [[verb]] [[are]] [[as]] [[follows]]: | |||
[[All]] [[high]] [[tones]] | |||
[[Terminal]] –[[r]] [[plus]] [[the]] [[particle]] [[da]] | |||
[[Transitive]] | |||
[[For]] [[example]], [[the]] [[verb]] [[saya]] [[means]] [[to]] [[buy]]. [[The]] [[v5]] [[verb]] [[derived]] [[from]] [[the]] [[same]] [[root]] [[is]] [[sayar]] [[da]], [[which]] [[means]] [[to]] [[sell]] ([[to]] [[cause]] [[something]] [[to]] [[be]] [[bought]]). | |||
[[Many]] [[v5]] [[verbs]] [[have]] [[a]] [[short]] [[form]]. [[For]] [[example]], [[the]] [[v5]] [[verb]] [[ciyar]] [[da]] ([[to]] [[cause]] [[to]] [[eat]]) [[is]] [[sometimes]] [[shortened]] [[to]] [[ci]] [[da]]. | |||
[[The]] [[causative]] [[effect]] [[will]] [[not]] [[always]] [[be]] [[as]] [[apparent]] [[as]] [[in]] [[the]] [[case]] [[of]] [[saya]], [[and]] [[there]] [[are]] [[a]] [[number]] [[of]] [[exceptional]] [[cases]]. [[However]], [[the]] [[general]] [[principles]] [[behind]] [[this]] [[grade]] [[are]] [[useful]]. | |||
