This is an important aspect of communication, particularly in social and business settings. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to use imperative verbs with confidence.
=== Introduction to Imperative Verbs ===
 
Imperative verbs are used to give commands or make requests. In Halh Mongolian, these verbs can be quite direct, so it is vital to learn how to use them in a polite and culturally appropriate manner. This lesson will provide you with the tools you need to navigate these interactions smoothly!

== Forming Imperative Verbs ==
* '''Practice Exercises'''


In Halh Mongolian, imperative verbs are formed by adding specific suffixes to the verb stem. The suffix that is used depends on the final vowel of the verb stem.
== Definition of Imperative Verbs ==


<b>Verb stem ending in -а/-я:</b> The suffix -н is added to the verb stem for singular commands and the suffix -наа is added for plural commands.  
Imperative verbs in Halh Mongolian express commands, requests, or invitations. For instance, when you want someone to "come here," you would use the imperative form of the verb "to come."


<b>Verb stem ending in -э/-е:</b> The suffix -й is added to the verb stem for singular commands and the suffix -йтеэх is added for plural commands.
== Formation of Imperative Verbs ==


<b>Verb stem ending in -ө/-ү:</b> The suffix -өө is added to the verb stem for singular commands and the suffix -өөрөө is added for plural commands.
In Halh Mongolian, the formation of imperative verbs can vary based on the verb's ending. Let's look at some key rules:


<b>Verb stem ending in -о/-үү:</b> The suffix -оо is added to the verb stem for singular commands and the suffix -оороо is added for plural commands.
=== Regular Verbs ===


<b>Examples:</b>
For regular verbs, the basic formation involves removing the infinitive suffix and adding the appropriate imperative ending.
 
* '''Example:'''
 
* Verb: "ямар" (to do)
 
* Imperative: "ямар" (do!)
 
=== Irregular Verbs ===
 
Some verbs may not follow the standard pattern, so it’s essential to memorize these exceptions.
 
* '''Example:'''
 
* Verb: "ирэх" (to come)
 
* Imperative: "ир!" (come!)
 
=== Affirmative vs. Negative Imperatives ===
 
* '''Affirmative Imperative:''' Tells someone to do something.
 
* '''Negative Imperative:''' Tells someone not to do something.
 
* '''Affirmative Example:''' "биднийг дага!" (follow us!)
 
* '''Negative Example:''' "биднийг бүү дага!" (don't follow us!)
 
== Examples of Imperative Verbs ==
 
Let’s dive into some examples to illustrate how to use imperative verbs effectively. Below is a table listing different imperative verbs in Halh Mongolian, their pronunciation, and English translations:

{| class="wikitable"
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| хэлнэ || helne || speak!
 
| Хий! || Khi! || Do!
 
|-
 
| Ирэ! || Ire! || Come!
 
|-
|-
| хандах || handah || go!

| үзэх || uzekh || see!
 
| Сууга! || Suuga! || Sit down!
 
|-
|-
| амьдрал || amtral || enjoy life! (used as a noun)
|}


As you may have noticed, some verbs may have to change slightly when forming the imperative verb. For example, амьдрах (to live), changes to амьдрал to become a noun, and later to the imperative form амьдрал!
| Биднийг дага! || Bidniig daga! || Follow us!


== Using Imperative Verbs ==
|-


Imperative verbs are commonly used in the following situations:
| Бүү ор! || Büü or! || Don't come in!


<b>1. Giving Commands:</b> To give commands to someone, you can use the imperative verb directly.
|-
 
| Бич! || Bich! || Write!


<b>Example:</b> Алга тавих! (alga tavikh) -- Stop doing that!
|-


<b>2. Making Suggestions:</b> To make suggestions, you can use the imperative form followed by the particle -ж болно (-j bolno).
| Мэд! || Med! || Know!


<b>Example:</b> Суулгахыг зөвшөөрч болно. (suulgahyg zovshoorch bolno) -- You can sit down.
|-


<b>3. Offering Assistance:</b> To offer help, you can use the imperative form followed by the particle -аарай (-aarai).
| Яри! || Yari! || Speak!


<b>Example:</b> Чөлөөлөхөөсөө үргэлжлүүлээрэй. (choloolokhooсо urgeljluuleerei) -- Let me help you with carrying it.
|-


<b>4. Requesting Assistance:</b> To request help, you can use the imperative form followed by the particle -аардаж (-aardaj).
| Хай! || Khai! || Look!


<b>Example:</b> Хоногийн өдрүүдэд биш тэмдэгт мэдээллийг бичихээр бидэнд туслаарай. (honogiin odruudеd bish temdegт medeeleliig bichikheeri bindend tusalaraй ) -- Help us by writing important information on the calendar.
|-


== Notes on Using Imperative Verbs ==
| Сур! || Sur! || Learn!


When using imperative verbs, it's important to note the following:
|-


- Imperative verbs are typically used for affirmative commands, and not for negative commands.
| Харагд! || Khargad! || Appear!
- When making negative commands, Halh Mongolian uses a different form, which we will cover in a later lesson.
- Imperative verbs do not have any tense distinctions.
- Imperative verbs are not used to express requests or ask for permission. Halh Mongolian uses different forms to express these concepts, which we will cover in a later lesson.


== Practice Makes Perfect ==
|-


Now that you know how to form and use imperative verbs, it’s time to practice! Here are some exercises to help you master imperative verbs. Simply translate the following sentences into Halh Mongolian:
| Эрг! || Erg! || Turn!


# Watch this movie!
|-
# Come here!
# Take your time.
# Don’t be late!
# Drink water!
# Read this book!


<b>Answers:</b>
| Багшдаа хүндэтгэ! || Bagshdaa khündetge! || Respect your teacher!

While using imperative verbs, it’s essential to consider politeness. In Halh Mongolian, you can soften commands by adding polite phrases or using the conditional form.
