Resultative Auxiliaries with Volitional Verbs
When they are associated with volitional verbs, they specify that only the object or the result of the action, independent of the agent’s volition, are to be taken into account (the agent may be absent). In European languages, these formulations are often translated by the passive.[1]
- མཆོད་པར་འགྱུར་བའི་ངེས་པ་མེད། “It’s not certain that offerings will be made.”
- བསགས་པའི་ནོར་ནི་སྦྲང་རྩི་ལྟར་ནམ་ཞིག་གཞན་གྱིས་སྤྱོད་པར་འགྱུར། “The wealth we have accumulated will one day be enjoyed by others, like honey.”
[1] In canonical literature, these auxiliaries translate the Sanskrit passive voice.
