How to say "Please don't do something" in Japanese

from Japanese Grammar Tips · host Yuya Sato

In this lesson, I will introduce how to say "Please don't do something" in Japanese. In order to ask someone not to do something, you need to use a negative plain form together with でください. <Example Sentences> ここ で たべない でください。 Please do not eat here. ここ で はしらない でください。 Please do not run here. おおきなこえ で はなさない でください。 Please do not speak loudly. きょう は おさけ を のまない でください。 Please do not drink alcohol today. Please refrain from using the expression using a te-form together with はいけません, which means "You must not do something" unless you are in a position of authority or the action is prohibited by regulation. It is strong expression. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yuyaman1986
