== Introduction ==
=== Understanding Imperatives ===


In this lesson, you will learn about imperative sentences in Sindhi. Imperatives are used to give commands or make requests in a direct and polite manner. You will also learn how to form negative imperatives and use them appropriately in different situations.
Imperatives are a type of verb form used to issue commands, requests, or instructions. In Sindhi, imperatives can be formed in a straightforward manner. Unlike English, where the subject is often implied, in Sindhi, we often drop the subject when giving a command.


== Forming Imperatives ==
== Basic Structure
Imperatives in Sindhi are formed using the base form of the verb. The subject pronoun is usually omitted because the verb form itself indicates the subject of the sentence. Here are some examples:
 
* '''Affirmative Imperative''': The verb is usually in its base form.
 
* '''Negative Imperative''': To create a negative command, we typically use "نہ" (na) before the verb.
 
Let’s look at a few examples to clarify this.


=== Affirmative Imperatives ===

{| class="wikitable"

| اچو  || aacho || Come

|-

=== Common Verbs in Imperative Form ===
 
Here’s a list of some common verbs that you can use in imperative sentences:
 
* '''آئو''' (aayo) - Come
 
* '''وڃو''' (wanjho) - Go
 
* '''پڙهو''' (parho) - Read
 
* '''سٺو''' (sutho) - Be good
 
* '''چپ''' (chup) - Be quiet
 
* '''لک''' (lakh) - Write
 
=== Forming Polite Requests ===
 
In Sindhi, we can make requests sound more polite by adding "مھرباني" (mehrbani) which means "please."
 
== Examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| جوڙائيندڙ اٺو! || jōṛhāindṛu aṭō! || Join now!
 
| مھرباني ڪري پڙه || mehrbani kare parh || Please read
 
|}
|}


=== Negative Imperatives ===
=== Contextual Usage ===
Negative imperatives in Sindhi are formed by adding the word "نا" (nā) before the base form of the verb. Here are some examples:
 
Using imperatives in context is essential. Here are a few scenarios where you might use them:

  • Affirmative Imperative: The verb is usually in its base form.
  • Negative Imperative: To create a negative command, we typically use "نہ" (na) before the verb.

Let’s look at a few examples to clarify this.

Sindhi Pronunciation English
اچو aacho Come
وڃو wanjho Go
پڙه parh Read
نه وڃو na wanjho Don’t go
نه پڙه na parh Don’t read

Common Verbs in Imperative Form[edit | edit source]

Here’s a list of some common verbs that you can use in imperative sentences:

  • سٺو (sutho) - Be good
  • چپ (chup) - Be quiet
