Imperative

The imperative (command form) is the stem of the verb: take the infinitive and drop the final -e.

• spise → Spis, huske → Husk, vente → Vent
• A double consonant becomes single: komme → Kom, lukke → Luk, glemme → Glem.
• Short verbs that end in a stressed vowel stay the same: gå → Gå, se → Se.
• Verbs in -le and -ne also just drop the e, even if the result looks odd: cykle → Cykl, åbne → Åbn, samle → Saml (not 'cykel' or 'åben').
• Verbs in -ere may take an accent: studere → Studér or Studer.

Add lige to make a request softer (Luk lige døren) and put ikke after the verb for a ban: Glem ikke din nøgle.
