Imperative Sentences in Slovenian grammar, also known as ukazovalnik, is a mood of verb used primarily for giving direct commands or expressing requests in a straightforward manner. It is a very distinctive feature in the Slovenian language to make a course of action a necessity or priority. The speaker uses these sentences to make sure the action mentioned in the sentence gets done. Slovenian imperative sentences usually lack subject pronouns, as the imperative ending implies the subject.
