Te-Form (3) - give & receive

Extends the common forms of あげる, くれる, and もらう, but what is received or given is now a verb, instead of a noun.

てあげる

Expresses that someone is doing or did something for someone else. The person that received the favor is followed by the に particle. Only for verbs.

[!info] Example 母にケーキを買==ってあげた==。 I bought a cake for my mother.

For casual language, てやる can be used.

てくれる

Used to ask a favor from someone or to say that something was done to the speaker. The person that received the favor (usually oneself and thus omitted) is followed by the に particle. Only for verbs.

[!info] Example {友達|とも|だち}がギターを{教|おし}え==てくれる==。 My friend will teach me the guitar.

てくれてありがとう

This form expresses gratitude for something that benefited the speaker. It is not used for something expected. Only for verbs.

[!info] Example 今日来==てくれてありがとう== Thank you for coming today!

てもらう

This form expresses gratitude for a favor that the recipient generally requested for, or where gratitude is the focus. Only for verbs.

[!info] Example {友達|とも|だち}が手伝==ってもらった==。 My friend helped me (and I owe him / because I asked him and I am grateful)

てくれない・てもらえない

Used as a mean to ask for a favor like "would you, could you?". Used in a similar form to じゃないか. Only for verbs.

[!info] Example {電気|でん|き}をつけ==てもらえない==か。 Could you please turn on the lights?

電気をつけ==ないでもらえない==か。 Could you please turn off the light?
