Imperative of the verb
1) The imperative form of the verb is made by removing the infinitive -e:
| å kjøpe | to buy | → | Kjøp! | Buy! |
| å stoppe | to stop | → | Stopp! | Stop! |
2) Verbs that end in -mme have only one -m in the imperative:
| å komme | to come | → | Kom! | Come! |
3) When the infinitive form is short (consists of only one syllable) the infinitive and the imperative forms are the same:
| å se | to see | → | Se! | See! |
| å gå | to walk | → | Gå! | Go/Walk! |
4) The Negative Imperative is formed in the same manner as the normal Imperative, but with the addition of the negative adverb IKKE before the verb:
| Ikke gå! | Don’t go! |
| Ikke se! | Don’t see/look! |
| Ikke kom! | Don’t come! |
| Ikke stopp! | Don’t stop! |
So, now…
