MONGOLIAN ENGLISH LESSON 17
Imperative Imperative is usually the mode of the verb to indicate you order or invite someone to do something, someone can also include yourself.
Basic in English you can do it as:
1)
Direct order: using the infinitive of the verb without the particle “to”, e.g. Go!, Eat!, Do your homework!
2)
You can make it more gentle by adding the word please such as in: Please, do you your homework!
3)
You can make more like an invitation using expression like: Let’s do your homework!
In Mongolian these are example of Present Imperative that we can render dropping the ending of the infinite of the verb, let’s see by examples:

Do your homework! -> гэрийн даалгавраа хий!
Where the imperative is the хий! -> do it! From the infinite хийх (to do)
Eat your lunch! -> үдийн хоолоо идээрэй! From идээрэй! That means Eat It! And to eat идэх.
In this case we see an example of future imperative identified by the stem ээрэй. If you want to say “eat it now!” You can say “ид!”
