    Imperative mood (Imperativo) of the verb espiàre

    However, it's important to note that the imperative does not have forms for the third person singular and plural. In these cases, the subjunctive mood is used to express desires or recommendations in a gentler manner. This characteristic makes Italian unique, as the subjunctive adds a touch of politeness and delicacy to conversations.
    Knowing the imperative and its appropriate use is crucial for effective communication and maintaining a friendly tone in everyday interactions.
