4.9.2 In Imperatives
A simple imperative with verbs of Class 1 can begin
with bare verbs without proclitics. But imperatives of this
form are rude when used to older persons and rather harsh
for children too, although they can also be made softer by
proper intonation. To show politeness to older persons,
proclitics must be used. They are also used to make the
imperatives softer for children or younger persons.
