A.
Drop the infinitive -vu&, is to get an imperative form
of a verb. Examples:
1.
rme=, rm.
Ramesh, (you) play.
2.
nIla, kerI kap.
Nila, cut the mango.
However,
if the addressee are more than one use plural marker -Ao with the verb. Examples:
3.
rme= Ane nIla, kerI kapo.
Ramesh and Nila, (you) cut the mango.
4.
mIna, nEna Ane inlIma, rmo.
Mina, Naina and Nilima, (you) play.
Use
plural to be polite. Examples:
5.
mInaben, rmo.
Minaben, (you) play.
6.
rme=-a;, kerI kapo.
Rameshbhai, (you) cut the mango.
Gujarati
has future imperative forms also. We use such forms to request to do things in
future. Examples:
7.
mIna, rmje.
Mina, play (future).
8.
mInaben, rmjo.
Minaben, play (future).
In
present and future imperative forms, we also use -ne,
a request
form. Examples:
9.
mIna, rmne.
Mina, please play.
10. mIna,
rmjene.
Mina, please play (future).
11. mInaben,
rmone.
Minaben, please play.
12. mInaben,
rmjone.
Minaben, please play (future).
