German, Sie and wir imparatives of sein
editI noticed that this article is missing the Sie and wir imperatives of Sie, but I do not see a way to add them to the chart, I was wondering if there is a way to rectify this omission. — This unsigned comment was added by 76.20.52.24 (talk).
- Yes, the conjugation template doesn't have a slot for those imperatives, presumably because the imperative for wir and Sie is almost always the same as the present tense. So, I just now noted the irregularity in a text note below the conjugation table. —Rod (A. Smith) 18:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- That's fine of course. But there's actually no irregularity there. These imperatives are subjunctive forms in all verbs including sein. Most grammars even call them "Optativ" instead of imperative.Kolmiel (talk) 09:26, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
