"Wait!"

Translation: Warten Sie!

[klaus_walker]

So...I guess it's mandatory to have a pronoun when you give an order to someone?

[ellablun]

It's not .it's mandatory when warten is used. Look at the description with imperative lesson

[micjabbour]

Shouldn't "Warte!" be accepted too?

[Tommy_SGB]

As far as I know it should be accepted. I've reported it.

[klaus_walker]

Eat! = Essen Sie! etc.?

[ikwilvertalen]

It's only mandatory when you're giving an order to someone who you address with "Sie". If you address someone with "du", or a group with "ihr", the pronoun is not required:

• "Iss!" (eat!, to someone you address with "du")
• "Esst!" (eat!, to a group you address with "ihr")

[micjabbour]

Why isn't "Warte!" accepted then? shouldn't it be?
I am asking this to make sure before reporting it...

[Chibi822020]

Moment should have been accepted no ?

[JeffRomer]

"In German, there are three main forms of the imperative that are used to give instructions or orders to someone. These correspond to the three different ways of saying you: du, ihr and Sie. However, it is only in the Sie form of the imperative that the pronoun usually appears – in the du and ihr forms, the pronoun is generally dropped, leaving only the verb." Collins dictionary So the question is, would Duo accept wartest or wartet?

[RufusWoodyIII]

Both "Warte!" and "Wartet!", but not "Wartest!" are accepted. You should look up the verb "Warten" on a site such as:
https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german-verb-warten.html
and then scroll down to the 'imperative' ("Imperativ Präsens") tense to see what is proper. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.

[Santer69]

which cases is "warten" used? since when u tap the word "wait!" it gives u "moment, warten sie" and "warten" but the last one was not accepted on its own.

[yaaaahr]

so what would this be if it were singular familiar and plural familiar??

[Matt831766]

Singular imperative informal = Warte
Plural imperative informal = Wartet

[nur648724]

Does "sie" make the imperative less rude?

[BruceDandra]

Where are the rules for warte sie? Why not just warte!? Hello duo management? Arebyou reading this? Don t let people comment foe you. Get involved please!

[Joanne254]

Is "warte mal" too different from just "wait"?

[IshinoRiek]

Sie means you.... Warten du/sie means are you waiting.. If is just a warten it's means wait/waiting

[RufusWoodyIII]

That's not really correct. You should look up the verb "Warten" on a site such as:
https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german-verb-warten.html
and then scroll down to the 'imperative' ("Imperativ Präsens") tense to see what is proper. With the second person formal, the correct 'command' is "Warten Sie". I hope this helps.

[pr.srasti]

If I want to say wait to someone I know, I also have to say "warten Sie" or I can say "warten du" ??

[Matt831766]

You would just say warte.
