Translating causative constructions

§4. CAUSATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS WITH NON-CAUSAL VERBS

In these constructions, the third element is expressed by a prepositional phrase: Try to talk them into a game of tennis on Friday. – Постарайся уговорить их сыграть в пятницу в теннис. How did you talk the manager out of complaining? – Как ты отговорил менеджера от жалобы? The verbs introducing the constructions of this type are called adverbial verbs (see below).
These constructions depend upon the context even more than the previously described type. To translate them, a contextual substitution (and sometimes extension) is required: She sang her baby to sleep every night. – Каждый вечер она песней усыпляла ребенка.
