Japanese 使役｛しえき} and 使役{しえき}受身{うけみ} grammar


> その映画から、事故で子供を死なせてしまった母親の悲しさが伝わってきた。

from this sentence,

> Translation: conveyed the sadness of the mothers of the children who killed
> in accident

or

> conveyed the sadness of the children whom mother was killed in accident

and also I don't understand why they used shieki and not shieki ukemi.

Besides that also the particle を is really confusing, who is the subject and
also the object in this sentence 「じこでこどもをしなせてしまった」 ?

Could you explain to me?




“その映画から、事故で子供を死なせてしまった母親の悲しさが伝わってきた” can be translated as;

The movie conveyed heartrending sorrow of the mother who lost her child by an
(a traffic) accident. The sadness (sorrow) is clearly that of mother, not the
child.

The verbatim translation of “事故で子供を死なせてしまった母親” is “the mother who made her
child die / killed,” but it doesn’t mean the mother killed the child, and no
mother under the sun "allows" and "permits" somebody to kill her child. The
accident killed the child.

It’s better to interpret ”子供を死なせてしまった母親” as “the mother who lost her child”
than “the mother who made her child be killed.”

The subject in the sentence is “母親の悲しみ - the sorrow of mother,” which is
followed by the verb, “伝わってきた – was conveyed.”
