Norwegian vs Spanish 2: The Imperative

Norwegian: So the imperative is basically just the stem of the verb in all persons

Me: ...that's it?

Norwegian: Yeah, I mean, sometimes if the verb stem ends in a double consonant such as -tr or -dr or -kl you can stick an -e on the end to make it easier to pronounce. That's about as irregular as it gets.

Me: Great! Okay Spanish, whatcha got?

Spanish: ...

Me: Oh no

Spanish: So the ending changes according to person

Me: Standard yes I expected this

Spanish: And whether it's formal or not

Me: Mhm of course

Spanish: The endings are kinda similar to the present indicative but like, you swap them over, so -ar verbs take -er/-ir endings and -er/-ir verbs take -ar endings

Me: Okay logical and not confusing in the slightest

Spanish: Also the negative imperative is different

Me: What why?!

Spanish: And now for the irregulars
