I have a question- so I’m wondering if the command and the present form for “you” are the same? So in English we’d say “you fold the clothes” (statement) or “fold the clothes” (command) but in Navajo do you say it the same? Or if not how does it differ from the command form? Thanks for these- I love having so many phrases for around the house that I can use and practice a lot, and just lots of examples of how to conjugate different verbs.

@@cwood892 they are the same. The verb can be used to say the statements, "Fold the clothes, Jerry says you are folding the clothes, are you folding the clothes, or you're folding the clothes, right?"
