Imperative

The imperative is for commands, instructions and requests. You build it from the present stem:

• consonant stems add -и for one person and -ете for several: чета → чети / четете, пиша → пиши / пишете
• vowel stems add -й or -йте: слушам → слушай / слушайте, пия → пий / пийте
• a few forms are irregular: ела / елате (come; дойди / дойдете is also used), яж / яжте (eat), дай / дайте (give), виж / вижте (look), влез / влезте (come in), дръж (hold)

The plural form is also the polite form for one person: Седнете, господине! (Sit down, sir!). For a negative command, use the imperfective verb: Не отваряй прозореца! (Don't open the window!), Не идвай утре! (Don't come tomorrow!).
