Editing Imperative mood (section)

== Other languages==

Other languages such as [[Latin language|Latin]], [[French language|French]] and [[German language|German]] have a greater variety of [[inflection|inflected]] imperative forms, marked for person and number, their formation often depending on a verb's conjugation pattern. Examples can be found in the specific language sections below. In languages that make a [[T–V distinction]] ({{wikt-lang|fr|tu}} vs. {{wikt-lang|fr|vous}}, {{wikt-lang|de|du}} vs. {{wikt-lang|de|Sie}}, {{wikt-lang|pt|tu}} vs. {{wikt-lang|pt|você}}, {{wikt-lang|es|tú}} vs. {{wikt-lang|es|usted}} and {{wikt-lang|es|vos}}, etc.) the use of particular forms of the second person imperative may also be dependent on the degree of familiarity between the speaker and the addressee, as with other verb forms.

The second person singular imperative often consists of just the stem of the verb, without any ending.

For example, [[Māori language|Te Reo Māori]] has the imperative {{lang|mi|me}}, which in addition to being put in front of sentences to command (e.g. {{lang|mi|Me horoi ō ringaringa}}; "(you must) wash your hands"), is used to assert the imperative mood in sentences that would be translated as "let's (let us)" in English. An example of this is {{lang|mi|Me haere tāua}}, which translates to "let us (you and me) go", but the "us" component goes last.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Commands|url=https://kupu.maori.nz/sentences/commands|access-date=2021-11-05|website=kupu.maori.nz}}</ref>
