JLPT N4 GRAMMAR: ~なさい (~nasai)
Verb ますーform+なさい is another imperative style. It is used by parents to their children or by teachers to their students and is a little gentler than the imperative form. So women use this style instead of the imperative form. Yet, it is not used when speaking to a senior.
