Why do we need ku before rubuta? Isn’t rubuta already an imperative?

In Hausa, the bare verb (e.g. rubuta!) is the singular imperative.
To give a command to more than one person, you normally add ku:

• Rubuta! – Write! (to one person)
• Ku rubuta! – You (all) write! / Please write! (to several people, or politely)

So ku marks that the command is directed to you plural (or polite).
