Imperative

We learned about the interrogative sentence and the negative sentence of Arka last time.
Have yo done your homework, Shion?



"Is it a cat?"; tu et ket mia?
"It's not a cat. It's a dog"; tu de ket. tu et oma.
"Doesn't Shion write Arka?"; xion en axt arka mia?
--Right?



OK, You're good!
The last question was a combination of an interrogative sentence and a negative sentence, but you did well.



The adverb, "en," which makes a negative sentence is followed by a verb. In English, the word, "not," appears after verbs.
Adjectives come after nouns in Arka, but "en" comes before verbs. It's a bit strange.
Are there other words which come before verbs?



Yes. I'm going to teach you the imperative sentences of Arka.
You have to put "re" before a verb when you want to make an imperative sentence; "re lef" means "Run!"
I'll show you a chart of words that come before verbs.

"Please do not wirte" is "fon axt."
What do you say when you want to mean "please don't go" or "please come"?



"fon ke" and "mir luna."
"ke" is "to go," whereas "luna" means "to come."



I see.
It seems you can omit the subject in imperative sentences like English.
You know, it's like "you come here" becomes "come here."



You don't have to omit the subject.
"ti mir luna" is like "You, come here, please."



"You" is "ti" in Arka?
Speaking of "you," I've not learnt the pronouns of Arka like "I" or "he" yet.



Um...


What?



I've been keeping away from them on purpose.



Why?



Because They're too confusing...
