Наказова Форма - Imperative Form

The Imperative Form of a verb is a command which tells someone to do something or to act immediately and without question.

You have been introduced to two examples of the Imperative Form in this course. Recall the following phrases:

Ходімо на футбол! Let’s go to the football game

Ходімо, Оленко! До побачення, хлопці! Let’s go, Olenka! Good-bye, boys!

The word ходімо can mean either ‘Let’s go’ or ‘Come on’, phrases which are commonly used in English. The Imperative Form of the verb іти ( to go) also appears in the course, as shown below.

Ну , добре. Ідіть! Well, fine. Go!

The literal meaning of Ідіть! is ‘Go!’ but it is understood to mean ‘Go ahead’, a phrase commonly used in English.

Займенники Pronouns

Review: Second Person Plural

In Dialogue 5, the pronoun ви was used (or implied) in three phrases, as shown below.

Як (ви) ся маєте, пані Козак?

Куди ви йдете?

А ви куди?

You will recall from Unit I that there is a cultural distinction when using the second person plural ви (Ви). In the first example, Roman is showing cultural respect for the mother of his friend Taras by addressing her in the second person plural. In the second and third examples, the plural form is used to address more than one person.

If you have a familiar or more casual relationship with family members or friends, the second person singular ти is more commonly used. For example, some children may address their parents as ти, reserving the term Ви for grandparents, relatives or strangers.

1. Мамо, чи __________ вдома?
