About ~てやる
The う-Verb やる, occasionally seen in the kanji form 遣る, primarily means ‘to do’, but can also mean ‘to give’ as the casual form of あげる. When attached to the て-form of verbs, it acts as a subsidiary verb. When substituting for あげる, it will often sound patronizing, or that the speaker is doing an action because it is unavoidable, and the person they are doing it for cannot do it themselves. This will be translated as ‘to do for’.

- 今夜は俺が奢ってやるから、どんどん好きなもん頼めばいいからな。I’m going to pay for you, so don’t hesitate and order whatever you want.
-

- こうなったら勝ってやるしかないだろ。Well, in a situation like this there is no other choice but to win!
