あたえる
to give
A thing going out of one hand and into another. She folds your fingers round it and the hall claps before you have even looked down. Ah, ta あた. Eh える? A ruler: あたえる.
Formal, and it takes the abstract objects: 影響を与える to have an influence, ショックを与える to give someone a shock. あげる is the everyday give. くれる is the everyday give, the one that comes toward you.
