The imperative paradigm for the verb 'to put' is as follows:
| cuirim | let me put | cuireamaid | let us put |
| cuir (thusa) | you put | cuiribh | let you (pl) put |
| cuireadh (esan/ise)' | let him put | cuireadh (iadsan) | let them put |
Even though there are imperative forms for all different person and number features on the verb, the youth tend to only use the second person singular and plural.

siuthadaibh go on (plural)
