### Commands for a Group: The Plural Imperative

When giving instructions to a group of people—like a fitness instructor speaking to a class—you use the plural imperative. Fortunately, this is one of the easiest forms to remember in Romanian: the affirmative plural command is exactly the same as the present tense **voi** (you all) form, which ends in **-ți**.

To tell a group *not* to do something, simply place **nu** directly before the verb. Unlike singular negative commands, you do not use the infinitive here.

### Comparative of Inferiority: Less... Than

When describing how an action is performed, you can compare it using adverbs (like "abruptly," "quickly," or "deeply"). To tell someone to do something "less [adverb] than" someone or something else, use the structure:

**mai puțin** + adverb + **decât** (or **ca**)

Both **decât** and **ca** translate to "than" and are generally interchangeable in these comparisons.
