An imperative is a verb that expresses command or a request. This is derived from the stem of<br />

the Verb.<br />

• आओ(aao), जाओ(jaao), करो(karo), etc are used in addressing equals or inferiors.<br />

• आइये(Aayiye), बैठए (baithiye), किजए (keejiye),etc are used in addressing elders and<br />

persons whom we respect.<br />

• All the respectful forms presuppose the use of आप or some similar title of respect.<br />

• For the negative imperative, मत (math) is used. With the respectful forms,न (na) is the<br />

correct word, though मत is occasionally found.<br />

• The Infinitive is also used as a gentle Imperative.<br />
