Imperative mood (आप): verb stem + इए/ईजिए

Not necessarily. If you look at someone and say Aaiye (Please come), the respect is implied in the verb itself. However, adding Aap makes it clearer and slightly more formal.

Good catch! For verbs like si (sew), you just blend it. But mostly, you'll encounter vowel stems like aa or ja. si -> sijiye is rare for beginners. Stick to the main patterns first.

You *can*, to teach them manners or to be affectionate, but it's not required. Usually, Tum or Tu is used with kids. Using Aap with a child is cute and respectful but optional.

No. The iye ending already acts like 'please'. Adding Kripya makes it very formal, like a written notice or an announcement.

The verb is rukna. Stem is ruk. Add iye. Result: Rukiye. Use this if your rickshaw driver is zooming past your destination!

Kariye is actually heard often in spoken Hindi (dialects), but Kijiye is the standard, grammatically correct form. Stick to Kijiye for exams and formal writing.

Jaaiye means 'Please go' (leave). Chaliye often means 'Please come along' or 'Let's go' (inclusive), depending on context.

Interestingly, for God, people often use the intimate Tu to show closeness, or Aap for majesty. Both are acceptable depending on your personal relationship with the divine.

Use the word mat before the verb. Yahan mat baithiye (Please don't sit here).

Aap is grammatically plural, even when talking to one person (honorific plural). So Aaiye works for one boss or ten bosses.

Hona isn't typically used as a command in this way ('Please be'). You might hear hoiye, but it's very rare in this context.

Nope! Whether you are speaking to a man or a woman, Aap aaiye remains exactly the same. One less thing to worry about!

Saying Aap aao sounds jarring to a native speaker. It's not the end of the world, but it marks you as a beginner immediately.

The verb is khaana. Stem is khaa. Add iye. Result: Khaaiye.

There are minor variations, but Karna, Dena, Lena, and Pina cover 99% of the irregularities you'll face at A1 level.

Yes, Farmaiye comes from Urdu (farmana - to command/speak). You'll hear Farmaiye meaning 'Please speak/state your wish'. It's very polite.

You can say 'Please jaao', but it's Hinglish. To sound like a pro, use the proper structure: Jaaiye.

Intezaar kijiye (Please do waiting) or simply Rukiye (Please stop/stay).

Yes. Aap aaiye with a flat tone is a request. Aap aaiye? isn't really a question form. Questions usually use Kya aap aaenge? (Will you come?). The imperative is for telling/asking someone to do something now.
