啦

1. (Cantonese) Placed at the end of a sentence in imperatives making it sound more like a request than an order.

   離開！ / 离开！ [Cantonese]  ―  Lei⁴ hoi¹! [Jyutping]  ―  Leave!

   離開啦！ / 离开啦！ [Cantonese]  ―  Lei⁴ hoi¹ laa¹! [Jyutping]  ―  Leave (please)!

• The first sentence is very impersonal and straight forward, whilst the second has been softened down by the particle 啦.
• The usage of this particle is usually spoken, but its written form can be used in some informal writing. With more formal settings of writing, the Mandarin particle 吧 (baa6) is used instead.

• → English: lah (or via Malay lah)
• → Malay: lah
  • → English: lah (or directly from Cantonese 啦)

• (Mandarin) 吧 (ba)
