hi. i´d like to know what ´kendini ozlettin´ means. does it mean like ´you are causing yourself to be missed´ as in ´im missing you´ or more like ´you are causing yourself to miss something else´?

sorry for the bad punctuation, i have a bit of a keyboard problem

thank you

özlemek is a transitive verb, it takes an accusative object:

                         Seni özledim ´I missed you´.

When a transitive verb takes a causative marking it is still a transitive verb and the accusative marked element is its logical object.

                         (Bana) kendini özle|t|tin ´You made (me) miss yourself´.

The patient  -  ben  -  is marked with dative.

In order to understand the difference we could try it with an intransitive verb, say gülmek. No object. When we add the causative marking the verb begins to demand an object, though, right? So we mark the patient  -  ben  -  with accusative.

                          Beni gül|dür|dün ´You made me laugh´.

Wow thank you so much abla, that was really helpful, much appreciated!
