te-form verb + やる

やる can mean giving to juniors, animals, or plants, and with the て-form means doing something for them.

It can sound rough when used for people; modern speech often uses あげる instead.

毎朝、花に水をやります。

I water the flowers every morning.

Do not use やる for giving to superiors or people you are not close to.

やる usually points toward lower-status, animals, plants, or very close people.
