)This means, as a rule of thumb, that "verbiĝi objekton" is never allowed.
"verbigi objekton" is always OK, as -ig always makes a transitive verb
"verbi objekton" depends on the verb being transitive or not.
"kreskigi infanon" is the right choice between the two.

jkph00:What is the expression for "to raise a child?" Would "kreskigi infanon" work? I am still trying to understand the -ig and -iĝ affixes. Dankon!Do you mean to bring up a child? Raising a child is something more than just breeding or cultivating. According to PIV eduki means direkti la elvolviĝon de fizikaj, moralaj k intelektaj kapabloj de infano aŭ junulo. So I think that this is the word which you are looking for.

Duko:-iĝ makes any verb intransitive, and there can be no object to that verb (object would be conveniently marked by -n in EOThank you, this certainly helps me better understand how to use the affixes. I need to see more translations of the use of those affixes. They are obviously very powerful, but as yet still seem foreign to me. My use of them is not natural, but forced. Ah, well, practice makes perfect, eh? Again my thanks.

I wake up = Mi min levas. Or: Mi leviĝas.
Another example is "to occupy oneself with something"
I occupy myself with reading:
Mi min okupas je legado.
Mi okupiĝas je legado.
The suffix -ig- is used when an action is applied to something.
E.g.
The heater warms the room= La varmigilo varmigas la ĉambron
The picture reminded me of that green island.
La bildo memorigis al mi pri tiu verda insulo.

PS. that's big Macs and fries to those of you who don't speak the Queen's English.
JK, Wells dictionary translates eduki as educate, bring up, rear - and klera as cultured, educated

erinja:Leviĝi means "to get up", not "to wake up". You can "leviĝi" from a chair. "Vekiĝi" means "to wake up".Thanks, that was an inaccuracy of mine. Of course levi sin = leviĝi means "to get up".
