I.:
similarly, the mother telling her daughter to eat could say instead:
Ayo, makan.
Come on, eat.
Ya literally means 'yes'. When used in commands, it is similar to the
'won't you/will you' tag that is used in English. It is usually placed at
the end of the sentence.
Tidur m.
Go to sleep, won't you?
Makan m.
Eat, won't YOU?

DONG
Dong is more informal than ayo and ya and, when used in commands,
also roughly translates into English as 'won't you' or 'will you', Like ya,
dong can be placed either after the verb, to emphasise the action, or at
the end of the command, to emphasise the whole command.

Be careful!
Because dong is informal, it is not an expression that we would
use in situatio~is that require us to observe formality, such as in
ceremonial situations, public announcements or when speaking to
strangers in the street or to guests. For example, one would not
normally say to a priest.: Berkati saya dong ['Please bless me') or to
the guests at a formal function: Duduk dong ('Please sit down'].
Dong is most appropriate when used among close friends and
