The imperative form of a verb is not very different.

Now for those verbs which have two or more letter in their root form:

for example :

देख-ना (dekh-naa) = To see 

The polite imperative form becomes : देख + इए = देखिए ( dekhiye) = Please see

बैठ-ना (baith-naa) = To sit

The polite imperative form becomes : बैठ + इए = बैठिए ( baithiye) = Please sit
