なさいCommand to do

The imperative or command form (命令形) gives strong, direct commands, e.g. 食べろ ('Eat!'). On its own, it sounds harsh, so it's often softened. なさい is a more polite alternative, often used by parents or teachers toward children, e.g. 野菜を食べなさい ('Eat your vegetables!'). Both forms command action but differ in tone.

ないでください is a polite way to ask someone not to do something. It is relatively neutral, and could be used with strangers or people equal in status to you. In contrast, なさい is a command form, similar to the English 'Do (this),' typically used when one person is in a higher position, such as teachers to students, adults to children, etc.

なさい is a firm but polite command form, often used by those in authority (like teachers or parents) toward subordinates. In contrast, ないで is a casual way to ask someone not to do something, e.g. 行かないで ('Don't go.'). It is typically used among close friends or family.

Bentuk kamus atau non-lampau dari 'kata kerja + な' dipakai untuk memberi perintah larangan dengan nada tegas atau kasar, seperti 'jangan!'. Sebaliknya, bentuk dasar kata kerja (tanpa akhiran) + なさい dipakai untuk memberi perintah yang kuat tetapi tetap terdengar lebih sopan. Misalnya, 食べるな berarti 'jangan makan itu!', sedangkan 食べなさい berarti 'makanlah!'. Meskipun berasal dari bentuk kehormatan, なさい tetap merupakan bentuk perintah dan biasanya dipakai kepada orang dengan status lebih rendah atau kepada anak-anak, bukan kepada atasan.

Both are command forms, but with different tones. なさい is a polite but direct command, often used by teachers or parents, e.g. 食べなさい ('Eat.'). てごらん is softer and gently encourages someone to give something a try, e.g. 食べてごらん ('Try eating it'). Both are typically used from adults to children, or superiors to subordinates.

Both forms are used to ask someone to do something, but with different levels of formality. なさい is a polite command often used from superiors to subordinates, as in 待ちなさい ('Wait.'). お～願う is extremely humble and formal, used in business or public announcements, as in お待ち願います ('We request that you to wait.').

なさる and なさい are derived from the same verb but used differently. なさる is an honorific form of する, used for respectful reference to someone's actions, as in 明日仕事なさいますか？ ('Will you be working tomorrow?'). なさい is the imperative form, used to firmly but politely instruct someone, as in 宿題をしなさい ('Do your homework.').

てください dan なさい sama-sama dipakai untuk meminta atau menyuruh seseorang melakukan sesuatu dalam bahasa Jepang. てください adalah permintaan sopan, mirip dengan 'Tolong (lakukan ini)' atau 'Silakan (lakukan ini)', dan cocok dipakai dalam situasi netral maupun formal, misalnya kepada orang yang tidak dikenal atau orang yang setara statusnya. Sebaliknya, なさい adalah perintah tegas, lebih dekat dengan 'Lakukan ini', dan biasanya dipakai oleh seseorang yang posisinya lebih tinggi, seperti guru kepada murid atau orang dewasa kepada anak-anak.

Both forms ask someone to do something, but the tone is different. なさい is a polite but direct command, often used by parents or teachers, as in これを使いなさい ('Use this.'). お～ください is a respectful request form, used to politely encourage someone like a customer or superior to do something, as in これをお使いください ('Please use this.').
