The usage of “doch” Part 3
posted 5 months ago
“doch” is also used a lot in commands. Sometimes it adds a note of impatience/urgency (by adding “immer” or “endlich” you can make it more clear), sometimes it makes the command sound more like an encouragement (by adding “mal” or “ruhig” you can make it more clear)!
Examples:
Reg dich doch nicht (immer) so auf! -> For heaven’s sake, don’t get so upset!
Freu dich doch (endlich)! -> Do cheer up!
Komm doch (ruhig) morgen vorbei! -> Why not drop by tomorrow?
Lass mich doch (mal) schauen! -> Why don’t you let me take a look?
