Instructions to Several People or Polite You
Plural imperative forms address several people or one person politely.
How It Works
Plural imperative forms address several people or one person politely.
Common perfective forms end in -τε, as in γράψτε. The precise stem must be learned; a polite instruction still needs an appropriate tone and context.
