: Genel anlamda sevme, sevdirme fiili için bu doğru bence. Örneğin, bir annenin çocuğuna veya bir insanın dostuna olan sevgisi buna dahildir. Ama aşktan bahsedildiğinden eminsek, 'endear' yerine 'beloved' veya benzer bir karşılık olabilir diye düşünüyorum.

without having yourself loved
my perception is this.
Discussion
But, still, I have reservations about “endear”. There are two possibilities that spring to my mind as to what’s meant by “sevdirmek” :
1. One makes someone fall in love with him/her
2. One makes himself/herself lovable or endearing to somebody.
