The Informal Imperative
We seen earlier an imperative command using ～なさい. Today, we will see another, much stonger imperative.
For Group 1 verbs (う Verbs), change the verb to base 4 (ends in an え sound, just like ～ば):
- 書く ⇔ 書け
- 読む ⇔ 読め
- 死ぬ ⇔ 死ね
For Group 2 verbs (る verbs), change the verb to base 5 (ends in an お sound)
- 食べる ⇔ 食べろ
- 寝る ⇔ 寝ろ
Note: する and くる become しろ and こい
It is possible you won't here this used in real life, and only seen in games/mangas/animes, etc.
We seen this type of imperative in one sentence:
- 妖精ナビィ…リンクの力となれ…
