Ajaklah

Ajaklah is the imperative form of the Malay and Indonesian verb ajak, meaning to invite. It is created by the root ajak plus the imperative particle -lah, a discourse marker used to soften commands or to add emphasis and politeness. The combination is widely used in everyday speech as well as in formal writing when urging someone to perform the act of inviting.

In usage, ajaklah is typically employed to urge a listener to invite others or to invite someone to participate in an event. Examples: "Ajaklah teman-temanmu ke pesta itu." "Ajaklah dia agar hadir pada pertemuan." The -lah particle does not change the verb for person or number; rather, it adds tone and emphasis through context and intonation.

Ajaklah is primarily found in Indonesian and Malay and is common in direct address and dialogues. It contrasts with the plain verb ajak, which is used in less emphatic contexts, as in "Ajak dia." Related terms include ajakan (an invitation), mengajak (to invite or persuade), and undangan (an invitation as a noun).

If "Ajaklah" refers to a specific proper noun, it is not widely documented in major reference works. The entry above focuses on its function as a grammatical form in Malay-language usage.
