When giving a negative command ("don't do something"), the pronoun moves to the front of the verb. It sits between nu (not) and the verb as a separate word, without any hyphens.
For informal ("tu") negative commands, use nu plus the infinitive (dictionary) form of the verb. For reflexive verbs, the pronoun te (yourself) is placed right before the infinitive:
| Negative | Pronoun | Verb (Infinitive) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| nu | te | panica | don't panic! |
| nu | te | stresa | don't stress! |
| We have an important show, so don't panic! | Avem un spectacol important, deci nu te panica! |
| You prepared a lot for this role, don't stress! | Te-ai pregătit mult pentru rolul acesta, nu te stresa! |
| You must breathe slowly, don't worry! | Trebuie să respiri încet, nu te îngrijora! |
| Don't focus on the audience, you know the role! | Nu te concentra la public, tu cunoști rolul! |
| You must breathe, so don't rush and don't worry! | Trebuie să respiri, deci nu te grăbi și nu te îngrijora! |
