Etymology edit

Causative of кэрэхсээ (kereqsee).

Verb edit

кэрэхсэт (kereqset)

    Synonym: абылаа (abılaa, to beguile, to bewitch, to fascinate)

    bu etii jonu kereqsette

Usage notes edit

When translating, note that in this case "attention" is not a separate word. Thus, the accusative (which marks the direct object) is used to indicate whose attention is attracted.
