Yame is possible, damare is closer to 'shut up' though.Malaika said:You know I thought it was something else, like damare or yamado(?) I mean I always hear those words when I watch anime.
care to help out here?
I wouldn't call that particularly gentle, "nasai" has a pretty strong ring to it and is e.g. used by parents when addressing their kids or teachers when addressing their students. I wouldn't use it when talking to, say, your boss.lexico said:or to be more gentle,
"SU-TO-PU-nasai!" (please stop!)
"ス-ト-プ-で-なさい!

そうですね。子供に頼む時「。。。下さい。」という言い方は丁寧すぎておかしいですね。John Lemon said:I wouldn't call that particularly gentle, "nasai" has a pretty strong ring to it and is e.g. used by parents when addressing their kids or teachers when addressing their students.
lexico said:Hhhhhh....we used to play around with Japonizing engurishi words...so funny.
btw welcome to the forum, Chyahnne!
Sounds like you're in a hurry, so hope to chit-chat later!
I could say for the nominal,
"SU-TO-PU"
ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致
or the following to prevent voicing the T into D, P to B.
"SU(T)-TO(P)-PU"
ニ湛ニ鍛-ニ暖ニ鍛-ニ致
Possibly for the verbal imperative for telling someone to stop,
"SU-TO-PU-na!" (rude form)
ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙?窶堙?
or to be more gentle,
"SU-TO-PU-nasai!" (please stop!)*
"ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙?窶堙遺?堋ウ窶堋「!
"SU-TO-PU kudasai!" (please stop!)
ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙 窶堋ュ窶堋セ窶堋ウ窶堋「!
or even more polite,
"doozo SU-TO-PU kudasai!" (please kindly stop!)
"窶堙?窶堋シ ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙 窶堋ュ窶堋セ窶堋ウ窶堋「!
Edit: *-nasai is not considered a gentle command.

epigene said:As a Japanese speaker, I would say "sutoppu" less often than "damaru" or "yameru."
An angry man would say "damare" (shut up; stop speaking) or "yamero" (stop, pointing to either speech or action by another).
A woman would say "damatte" or "yamete."
Politely, a person (of either gender) would say "damatte-kudasai" or "yamete-kudasai."
