csináltatni

csináltatni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to have something done" or "to get something made." It is a causative verb, meaning it indicates that the subject causes someone else to perform an action. The structure typically involves the infinitive form of the main verb followed by the infinitive of the verb "csinál" (to do/make) with the suffix "-tat/-tet" attached. For example, "megjavíttatni" means "to have something repaired" (from "megjavítani" - to repair).

This verb is used when the subject is not performing the action themselves but is arranging for it to be done by another person or entity. For instance, if someone wants to have their car washed, they would say "Autót mosatni" (literally "to have a car washed"), implying they are arranging for someone else to do it. It can also be used for services, such as getting a haircut ("Hajamat levágatni" - to have my hair cut) or having a dress made ("Ruhát csináltatni" - to have a dress made).

The choice between the "-tat" and "-tet" suffixes depends on vowel harmony rules in Hungarian. If the preceding vowel is a back vowel (a, á, o, ó, u, ú), then "-tat" is used. If it is a front vowel (e, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű), then "-tet" is used. This grammatical feature is common in Hungarian causative verbs. The object of the action, the thing being done, is usually in the accusative case.
