====Imperative====
The imperative mood exists only in the present tense. There are no forms for the 1<sup>st</sup> person singular. The mood is formed from the present stem of the verb plus the following endings:
{| class="wikitable" align="center"
|+ Imperative mood

! singular
! plural
|-
| '''First Person''' || — || -im/-jmo
|-
| '''Second Person''' || -y/-j/-̀Ø ||-it/-jte
|-
| '''Third Person''' || naj + 3<sup>rd</sup>sg || naj + 3<sup>rd</sup>pl
|}
The first set of endings is used with stems ending in a consonant, while the second set of endings is used with stems that end in a vowel. The third set is used with irregular stems.
