COMMAND PERFORMANCE

Оглавление

To make a command (the imperative mood), you can choose among three forms: “you” (MS), “you” (FS), and “you” (MP/FP). Believe it or not, many Modern Hebrew speakers consider this tense to be quite rude — like something an army commander or strict teacher would say. Generally speaking, you should avoid the command tense. Use the future tense instead, because it’s perceived to be more polite. But if you really want to, you can conjugate the command form like this:

 כתוב (kuh-tohv; [you] Write!) (MS)

 כִּתְבֵי (keet-vee; [you] Write!) (FS)

 כִּתְּבוּ (keet-voo; [you] Write!) (MP/FP)
