Do negative imperatives always begin with "ikke"? Or could it be "Stå ikke" too?

They should always begin with 'ikke', unless you want to write in an old-fashioned style.

No, you use the imperative form, which is the infinitive minus the final -e. For verbs that end in something other than -e, I'm not sure the rule. But for instance, "å spise" is the infinitive, and "spis" is the imperative, "Spis is!" is what you might say as you're throwing a snowball at someone.

Thank you very much, this should hopefully help me whizz through an imperative lesson if there is one.
