2. Commands
Like in English, we can use base verbs to tell people
what to do. Look at examples below:
Makan!
Baca!
Duduk!
Eat!
Read!
Sit!
However, Indonesian have a particle that makes
commands more formal yet softer.
Makanlah!
Bacalah!
Duduklah!
Eat!
Read!
Sit!
3. How does it work?
use -lah after the base verbs
the -lah verbs are put in the beginning of a
sentence
For example: Makanlah nasi.
Eat rice.
Bacalah buku.
Read a book.
