De'vID:

<blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;">I think you mean
{vInob} or {vIDIl} and not {vIje'}, which sounds like you fed
it to him.

<br>
I used {je'} because one of its meanings is "buy, purchase". Do
I
<br>
understand {je'} wrongly ?

hahahaha! This is a very good example of context.
<br>
<br>
De'vID's suggestions are fine to avoid ambiguity, but
grammatically it's
<br>
okay, and depending on context it should be clear that you buy it
for
<br>
him, not that you feed him.
<br>
<br>
Standing alone, it can really mean both.

<p>Is there really all that much difference between buying him a cup
of coffee and feeding him a cup of coffee? The very source of the
ambiguity also makes the ambiguity not matter all that much.<br>
