"Come and drink."

Translation: आओ और पियो ।

[Guenter212784]

I would much like more variation in this lesson, with more different verbs. For the time being, it´s always the same: "eat and go", "come and eat", "don´t drink water" ...

Why is आइए not correct?

[vinay92]

आइए is correct and is the more polite form. What did you use for 'drink? The polite imperative form should be पीजिए.

[ba2122]

Thank you. I don't think that I used the correct form for drink and that's probably why it was marked incorrect.

This remembers me of :.
Hey ! Come and see the show !

Any specific reason it is पियो and not पिओ ?

[vinay92]

Both forms are used. Refer to this discussion for more on the subject.

[Meghan1991]

Is आकर पियो correct too?

[OJFord]

I think that's probably better given the likely context of this sentence - not 'come', and also, unrelatedly, perhaps on your way, whatever, 'drink'; but more like 'hey come here to drink with us'.

I don't think Duolingo introduces the कर suffix though, so it may not be accepted.

What's the difference between आ and आओ? पी and पियो? Is the latter more imperative?

[vinay92]

Hindi has three forms of 'you' - तू , तुम and आप in increasing order of formality. Therefore, the imperative can take three forms depending on which of these is the implied subject - आ and पी with तू, आओ and पियो with तुम, आइए and पीजिए with आप.

For example, you'd say आओ और पियो when talking to a friend and आइए और पीजिए when talking to a stranger.
