Guys how do you translate "I told him to come over here"?

I have an idea involving koto which is

kare no kuru koto no imashita

but it seems that it doesn't sound colloquial another one is

kare ni kisasemashita

but I'm not so sure, so how do you translate it?

/* Please reply in romanji */

You can use "you" with the verb "hanasu/tsutaeru."

Kare ni koko ni kuru you (ni to) hanashimashita/tsutaemashita.

"Kare ni/wo kosasemashita" means "I made him come over here."
("Kare ni kisasemashita" means "I made him wear."

Sorry, I've probably mistyped. anyway, can "kare ni kosasemashita" also mean "I've told him to come over here" or not? can also use you with iu? as in

kare ni koko ni kuru to imashita

or

kare ni kinasai to imashita

or is it just for hanshimashita and tsutaimashita and what is "you" for? I understand (ni to) but what about "you"?

Thanks anyway

I personally would have used
かれに「ここにきて」といいました。
kare ni [koko ni kite] to iimashita
But this sounds more like "I said" than "I told"

 

[Toritoribe]

can "kare ni kosasemashita" also mean "I've told him to come over here" or not?

"Saseru/Seru" is a causative verb; "to make/let a person do", so "kosaseru" does not always mean "to make him come by telling".

can also use you with iu? as in
kare ni koko ni kuru to imashita
or
kare ni kinasai to imashita

Yes. You can use "you" also with the verb "iu."

Kare ni koko ni kuru you (ni/ni to) iimashita.

"Kinasai" is a strong command form like as "from boss to subordinate/from parent to child." So you might be better to use "kare ni [koko ni kite(kudasai)] to iimashita" depending on the context, as Damicci-san wrote.

or is it just for hanshimashita and tsutaimashita and what is "you" for? I understand (ni to) but what about "you"?

This "you" expresses order/demand/recommendation or something like that when used with the verb "iu, hanasu, meijiru, motomeru, susumeru..."
It's more likely a writing/formal expression, though.

Yeah I should have mention you probably want to use "kudasai" depending on the situation.
