They're stated similarly to English. There is an alternative way of expressing the negative imperative with the prefix vo-. For example, vosaraan! would mean "don't wait! / don't hesitate!" This becomes a little tricky when there are actual words made with vo-. Vokrii niin! could potentially mean "revive them" or "don't kill them" |

paarthurnax Ok, it would make sence that they would be just stated and left to context. Example: Stop, Don't kill them! Helt, vokrii niin! |

Yup, that's a great example of context filling in the meaning. |
