Form I / الوَزْن الأَوّل
The Arabic imperative verb is formed by stripping away the prefix تَـ from the 2nd person jussive and adding a hamzatu l-waṣl, (which does not need to be articulated).
مُثَنّى (dual) | جمع (plural) | مُفْرَد (singular) | الأَمْر Imperative | |
اِفْعَلا | اِفْعَلُوا | اِفْعَلْ | المُذَكَّر masc. | المُخاطَب 2nd person |
افْعَلْنَ | اِفْعَلِي | المُؤَنَّث fem. |
Note: The vowel of the hamzatu l-waṣl is a ḍamma if the verb has a ḍamma on the middle root letter, otherwise it is a kasra.
