Can you create a causative potential form in japanese?
I know that you can create causative verbs by doing this:
行く - 行かせる

But, could I create a causative potential verb? First transforming to potential and then to causative. Or to do it you procede the other way around.

行く - 行ける - 行けさせる

行く - 行くことができる - 行くことができさせる

Thanks! :)

I'm not quite sure myself, but this discussion seems to go into depth about it:

Good question, now I'm curious myself! :)

Answer

Grammatically, it would be 行かせられる、たべさせられる、読ませられる for "causative + potential" but some of them have the same form for "causative + passive", for example, たべさせられる. So I would use 行かせることができる、食べさせることができる、読ませることができる.

I hope this was helpful
