Why is it Nu trimite and not Nu trimiți?
Because this is a negative command addressed to one person informally.
- trimiți = you send / you are sending (present indicative)
- trimite! = send! (imperative)
- nu trimite! = don’t send! (negative imperative)
So Nu trimite documentul... means Don’t send the document..., not You don’t send the document...
A useful comparison:
- Trimiți documentul. = You send the document.
- Trimite documentul! = Send the document!
- Nu trimite documentul! = Don’t send the document!
