There is however a passive imperative voice in Eittlandic that does
not exist in English. It is used to give commands or instructions
where the subject is not specified or is implied to be a general "one"
or "you". It is generally formed by addink /-ask/ after its infinitive.
The imperative passive is particularly useful in instructions,
recipes, or general commands where the focus is on the action rather
than the agent.
