How would you use 化かす?


The dictionary says that it means 'To bewitch.' Could you please give an
example of it's use and when you'd use it?

Thank you immensely!




Taking an example from 大辞林:

  * [狐]{きつね}に[化]{ば}かされる ("bewitched by a fox")

In this case, what did the bewitching (the fox) is followed by に and the
appropriate form of [化]{ば}かす.

If you wanted to add who was being bewitched, just add them as a subject,
followed by は, at the beginning. From there it works like any other Japanese
verb.
