- Vます形 + なさい
해설
〜なさい is a command used by someone in a higher position to someone lower, such as a parent to a child or a teacher to a student. It is softer than the plain imperative (行け, 食べろ), but you cannot use it toward superiors. It also appears in test instructions like 答えなさい (Answer) and 選びなさい (Choose).

Using it to a teacher, boss or customer is very rude; use 〜てください instead. する becomes しなさい and 来る becomes 来なさい (きなさい).
