can lassen be both used with an infinitive and a past participle? (unlike a modal verb) (see img attached)

or eingeschaltet here is not part of a compound; its just an adverb? hella confusing that would be 🫤

it is translated from english afterall...

Yes, “lassen” can be used both with an infinitive (“Lassen Sie mich überlegen”) and with a past participle (“Lassen Sie das Buch nicht ungeöffnet”).

In the first case, it often translates to “to let”: “Let me ponder.” In the second case, it often translates to “to leave”: “Don’t leave the book unopened.”

“eingeschaltetlassen” is not a word. So you don’t have to do with a “separable compound”.
