====Welsh====

In [[Colloquial Welsh morphology|spoken Welsh]] most verbs can form two imperatives, both in the second person: one for singular and one for plural/polite singular. The singular imperative is formed by adding ''–a'' to the verbal-stem ({{lang|cy|gwel-}} → {{lang|cy|gwela}} 'see!') while the plural/polite form takes ''–wch'': {{lang|cy|gwelwch}} 'see!'. In informal writing, the plural/polite form is often used to translate 'please' as in {{lang|cy|talwch yma}} '(please) pay here' ({{lang|cy|talwch}} is the plural/polite imperative form of {{lang|cy|talu}} 'to pay').

In [[Literary Welsh morphology|literary Welsh]] there are imperatives for all persons and numbers, except for the first-person singular. These must often be translated using phrases in English: {{lang|cy|gwelwn}} 'let us see'; {{lang|cy|gwelent}} 'let them see'; {{lang|cy|wele}} 'let him/her/it see'; {{lang|cy|gweler}} 'let it be seen, it is to be seen'. In the literary language the second person singular suffix ''–a'' is often not used: {{lang|cy|gwela}} (spoken), but {{lang|cy|gwêl}} (literary); {{lang|cy|tala}} (spoken), but {{lang|cy|tâl}} (literary).

The five [[Irregular verbs|irregular]] Welsh verbs ({{lang|cy|bod, mynd, dod, cael}} and {{lang|cy|gwneud}}) also have irregular imperative forms which also differ between the spoken and literary languages.
