"To have someone gets to do something" I know the basic difference between the expressions "to get some to do something" and "to have someone do something" in a general sense. However, in the sentence below "have" and "get" have been used in a single sentence and "get" has been conjugated as "gets". Is that a correct sentence? "I dare you to stand against the wall and have everyone else gets to throw a ball at you" I infer something like "Letting the people be in a position throwing a ball at you" or "Being in a position by giving a chance to everyone to throw a ball at you" Either way I couldn't grasp the structure "To have someone gets to do something" quite well.

未然形 (Mizenkei) Stem Form Hello, I have read in a website that 未然形 (Mizenkei/Irrealis/Imperfect) stem form of a japanese verb is used in the construction of causative, negative and passive forms of this verb. For example, for the verb 分かる, the Mizenkei stem is 分から. 分から-ない (Negative Form) 分から-す (Causative Form) 分から-せる (Causative Form) 分から-ず (Negative Continuative) However, I have seen that the 未然形 (Mizenkei) stem forms of adjectives are not used in a same manner with the verbs. My question is in which cases this stem form is used for adjectives and what is the particular meaning of this form? Thanks!

However, knowing Turkish I can understand some common words. While learning the language I happened to find this song called "Şev çû" I am trying to understand what the lyrics mean but having a hard time grasping some of them. If you could help me, I would be very appreciated! Şev çû ma tu êdî hew tê lo Şev-night çû-passed ma-particle for question tu-you 1)Are "êdî" and "hew" linked and only mean "artik/anymore"? 2) What are "tê" and "lo"? Ez ranazêm bê te kengî xew tê lo Ez-I(me) bê te-without you kengî-when xew-sleep 3) ranazem - sleep or not sleep? Xanî bûye zîndan, tê da ranazêm Xanî bûye zîndan- The house being dungeon 4) what does "da" mean? Ta spêde qîr û nalîn… tew tê lo Ta spêde-sabaha kadar, qîr û nalîn -katran/asphalt and feryat/wail Thank you!

"밤 (Night)" 밤은 천천히 온다. (The night is coming slowly.) 내려 간다.(It comes down.) 조차 구덩이들에 채우는것을 시작했다. (It has even begun to fill the hollow places/pits). 그곳을 채우고 평원에 활짝 퍼지다는것을 시작할때 어디에나는 회색으로 변할 거다.(After filling these places, when it begins to spread out to the plains, everywhere will turn into grizzle) 잠시 동안 불이안 붙을거다.

(The light of the hills will seem to be sufficient to everybody for a while ) 나중에 언덕 조차도 어둠에서 머무를 거다... (Afterwards, even the hills will remain in darkness) This is a passage from a book. I have tried to translate it into Korean but some parts are incorrect. I will be appreciated if you correct this!

what does 따라 mean in here? "잔은 특히 물을 따라 마실 때 이용한다." I think the translation is something like "Glass is used especially when drinking water." with 따라 adding the meaning of 'it is especially used for drinking water different than the other drinks'. However I am not quite sure. Also is 따라 in this sentence similar to 따라 or 다르다? Thanks!

Latin of "owl"? I know that there is a couple of words for owl in Latin language (Noctua, strix, and bubo). However, as far as I know, these are used to refer to a specific type or types of owls. My question is, is there a word to refer to all of the species of owls collectively? (Cicuma?) If there is, I am looking for a word that was used among the people in all times that is different than the scientific name of the owls today. Thanks for helping!
