Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•やる can mean "to do" (like する), but it's more casual and often used for hobbies or tasks, like 宿題をやる ("do homework").
•やる also means "to give" when giving to pets, animals, or people close to you (like siblings), and it uses the particle に for the receiver (e.g., 犬にえさをやる = "give food to the dog").
•Don’t use やる when giving to someone you respect (like your teacher or boss)—use あげる or さしあげる instead to be polite.
