भिजवाना (bhijvaanaa)
verb
A causative-of-causative built on भेजना (bhejnaa, 'to send'): it means 'to have (something) sent' by getting a third person to do the sending, distinct from भेजना itself and from the simpler causative भिजाना (bhijaanaa).
Sense
1
:
to have something sent (via an intermediary)
verb, transitive Takes a doer marked with से (se) for the person actually doing the sending: राम से सामान भिजवाया (raam se saamaan bhijvaayaa, 'had the goods sent via Ram').
Synonyms: भिजाना (bhijaanaa, less common causative variant), भेजने के लिए कहना (bhejne ke lie kahnaa, descriptive paraphrase)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This is the classic double-causative pattern you'll hear when someone is coordinating errands through others -- like a mother saying मैंने बाज़ार से मिठाई भिजवाई (mainne baazaar se mithaaii bhijvaaii, 'I had sweets sent from the market'), meaning she asked someone else to see to it. It pairs naturally with other double-causatives like बनवाना (banvaanaa, 'to have made') and बुलवाना (bulvaanaa, 'to have called/summoned').
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often use भेजना (bhejnaa) when they mean 'arranged for someone else to send' -- भिजवाना (bhijvaanaa) specifically implies you didn't do the sending yourself, you got it done through someone. 2) The agent-through-whom is marked with से (se), not को (ko) -- को (ko) would mark the recipient instead. 3) Confusing this with भिजाना (bhijaanaa): both are causatives of भेजना (bhejnaa), but भिजवाना (bhijvaanaa) is the far more common everyday form and more strongly implies a human intermediary doing the legwork.
