My current understanding is below. (Not sure if this is correct):
行け
Ike! -> (I order you to) Go!
Ike yo! -> (I order you to) Go! (and I'm not backing down! Seriously, I'm telling you to go!)
止めろ
Yamero! -> (I order you to) stop!
Yamero yo! -> (I order you to) stop! (and I'm not backing down! Seriously, I'm telling you to stop!)
I've read that adding "yo"
1. can soften the order a bit
2. can show more strong will on the part of the speaker (They are not backing down!)
3. indicates the speaker is providing new information
I'm really curious about what situations an average person might choose to add "yo" to a command-form verb.
Thanks!
