I have been wondering about how to perfectly convey sentences where there seems to be 2 subjects, such as "She made you wait for us" and just came up with an idea that I wanted to discuss with you: using < ... ’e’ qaSmoH > For instance: juloS ’e’ qaSmoH
Literally: She caused it to happen that you waited for us
Or, for the example from last month (they made the dog enter the cage: DogvaD mo’ lu’elmoH): mo’ ’el dog ’e’ luqaSmoH When you think about it, in "She made you wait for us", the subject is "she" but the object is not "you", it is the action/event "you wait for us" taken as a whole, thus <... ’e’ qaSmoH > seems a logical way to phrase it. What do you think ? Has it maybe been discussed already ? Best, Aurélie
