Notes

1. is a strong negative imperative and is seldom used except in highly emotional situations. However, the addition of よ after serves to soften the force of the statement.

2. A female speaker normally does not use the imperative. She uses Verb negative ないで, as in 話さないで 'Don't talk.' or 食べないで 'Don't eat.'
