～な
Don't do... (command)
About
To express "don't..." simply add な to the end of a verb's dictionary form.
E.g. それを食べるな。 "Don't eat that."
This is quite a strong command, so it is best to use softer options such as 〜ないでください in polite situations.
Note: Be careful not to confuse this with verb stem + な, which is a friendly suggestion.
Attach な to a verb's dictionary form to express "Don't do X"
(Verb)な is very casual
