That's why I love the fact our langaige has dual. You can just use the fual form of imperative and it's immediately obvious you want the person to come even if you are in a group of people.

It takes 1 word

That can be misunderstood depending on context

Which language? Can you give an example?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Slovenian. The word is greva. Meaning to go in first person, dual, inperative. Often used as a question inplying 'shall we go now?'.

[–] MohamedMoney@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you. That’s interesting. Does it mean 'you and me go now?'

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yep pretty much. You say it to someone and everyone knows you only mean them and you.

Greva.

First person dual imperative meaning the two of us are leaving/going. Usually asked in a way inplying 'shall we go now?'.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Interesting. What language is that?
