"Please read many books."

Translation: 本をたくさん読んでください。

[BouliBouli]

たくさん 本を読んでください isn't correct?

[misawa.mandi]

I think this should be counted as correct as well. Please report it.

It was accepted for me too (April 8, 2018)

It works now, but I am curious, is there any grammatical difference? Like [many books] [please read] vs [books] [please read a lot]?

[boo913]

Could somebody please help me understand what happened with 読んで?

[MargauxMcD]

Yomu turns into yonde in te form. te form enables you to create a request or comand by adding kudasai (please). http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/te-form.html gives a rundown on te form which should help you understand. Read also about Ru and U forms of verbs which you may also not know from learning on this website on this web page https://www.wasabi-jpn.com/japanese-grammar/japanese-verbs-u-verbs-and-ru-verbs-and-conjugation/

Thankyou

Why do we need で　after 読ん？

[Nootx2]

I'm guessing that, like the 'te' in other request sentences, it marks a request from the speaker. Can someone more fluent please confirm this?

[Iga561457]

You're correct. The て becomes voiced into で, so 読む -> 読んで. It's the same phenomenon as when you read 三本 as san-bon, not san-hon.

[Carlos_Valenti]

As of 10/13/2017 it was marked correct

[ZetsKai]

I'm pretty sure a better translation would be: たくさんの本を読んでください。

[5nefarious]

Why isn't たくさんの本を読みなさい correct?

[Shannon306703]

Because you said it nicely, I'd be glad to read many books, Duo.
