Tu: vino, fă, citește

To tell one person you call tu to do something, most verbs use the same form as the el/ea present: cântă, ascultă, lucrează, mănâncă, citește, deschide. Ana, citește! (Ana, read!)

Some verbs, mostly ones without an object, use the tu present form instead: vezi, taci, dormi, fugi, mergi, ieși, rămâi.

A few very common verbs are irregular:

• a fi → fii, a veni → vino, a face → fă
• a zice → zi, a aduce → adu, a se duce → du-te

Learn these short ones by heart too: a lua → ia, a da → dă, a sta → stai, a bea → bea.

A first name and te rog (please) make the order friendly: Maria, vino aici, te rog! (Maria, come here, please!)
