There are no imperatives for adjectives; one uses ''ieng'' 'do', ''căfol'' 'become', or ''ămtus'' 'remain' with the adjective depending on the situation. For example, one would use ''ieng cdeal!'' (familiar) or ''ieng e pra cdeal!'' (polite) = Be bold! (lit. do boldly) to make a wish that the addressee should ''act'' boldly.

*''Ieng cdeal!'' (familiar) or ''Ieng e pra cdeal!'' (polite) = Be bold! (lit. do boldly) to make a wish that the addressee should ''act'' boldly. This is the most neutral imperative.
*''Căfol cdeal!'' implies that the listener is not bold now and should be.
*''Ămtus cdeal!'' should be obvious.
