Imperative Form

The Imperative form is used when commanding or ordering to do something. Most regular verbs follow the pattern

Root + ë

ceyyë

Do

Common irregular verbs that don’t follow this pattern are to go, to come

ivide vá

Come here.

aŋŋgóttë  pó

Go there

 Note that the above forms are somewhat impolite.

A more socially acceptable way is using the form

root+ámo

oňňë + root + ámo

aŋŋgóttë oňňë pókámo?

Could you please go there?

This is quite like asking a favor, which I have described in another section. In a strict sense this is not an imperative form.
