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
Too late I already came
?? Is it supposed to have sound?
No, it's ASL.
Please elaborate
Which part is unclear?
Which language? Can you give an example?
Slovenian. The word is greva. Meaning to go in first person, dual, inperative. Often used as a question inplying 'shall we go now?'.
Thank you. That’s interesting. Does it mean 'you and me go now?'
Yep pretty much. You say it to someone and everyone knows you only mean them and you.
...and that word is?
antidisestablishmentarianism
Greva.
First person dual imperative meaning the two of us are leaving/going. Usually asked in a way inplying 'shall we go now?'.
Interesting. What language is that?
