Expressing being forced or made to do something against one's will.

Rule

Take the causative form (ending in seru) and conjugate it as an Ichidan verb into the passive form (replace reru with rareru). For Godan verbs ending in su, su + saserareru. In casual speech, serareru often shortens to sareru for Godan verbs.
