4.4. Imperatives |
Singular and plural number is maintained in the imperative forms of Urali. There is no marker explicitely used to denote the imperative singular, whereas the imperative plural is represented by two allomorphs in the natural speech. They are -vi and -i which are suffixed to the verb stems. In addition to these, another bound form -riya can also be suffixed only to the imperative plural marker -vi. Though the suffix -riya is optionally used with -vi, it is often observed that while the native speaker is conversing with a respectable person quite frequently use this suffix. |
