Causative me-kan

To make a causative word you do: me + base word + kan

For example:
panas - hot
therefore: memanaskan

bersih - clean
therefore: membersihkan

But some of the words dont follow that kind of pattern such as bangun, which means to get up. membangun means to build, but membangunkan means to wake someone up!
