Difference between yamero and yamete


I often hear this from animations and read it among users when making jokes on
the internet, but I wonder exactly: what's the difference between yamero and
yamete?




Of the two **やめろ (yamero)** is the bossier one. **やめて (yamete)** comes across
a bit softer; it's basically **やめてください (yamete kudasai)** minus the ください
(kudasai). **やめろ (yamero)** is actually the imperative form of the verb, hence
the pushy sense it can give off.

**やめて (yamete)** sounds like something a girl might say, but certainly isn't
restricted to girls; **やめろ (yamero)** sounds like something either guys would
say to each other, or someone (anyone) might say to someone who's really not
getting the idea that they need to stop.
