~ないで (without doing / don't)

Don't drag out the story of Meng's mother moving three times to justify relocating for your kid's private-school exams.

Without even asking me, she walked off with my umbrella.

Please don't cry.

You already had mommy's milk, didn'chu? Don't cry now, go nigh-nigh, pweeease~.

Stop dodging — I want you to answer my question.

Quiet! Everyone, don't move from where you are. We're starting a bag check now.

'Don't worry. I'm doing fine (^-^)v' — 'Oh... an emoticon?'

Stop dodging the point. Is there a problem or not? Spit it out.

For example, more people are choosing to live together and have children without getting married.

How can you succeed without a good education?

Don't talk about work when we're on a trip.

Don't let go of the rope until I say it's okay.

She attempted the tightrope without a safety net.

She hates leaving anything unfinished.

She left without saying a word.

Don't worry.

If you're only half-serious about it, I'd rather you didn't come.

Don't be lazy — use the kanji you've been taught.

Don't just space out — hurry up and write it down!

Don't leave the bathroom a mess.

Don't break your promise!

Don't stare at the ground — look at me.

Don't forget to come pick me up tomorrow morning, okay?

Don't push yourself, okay?

I must not forget to meet her.

Don't scold her. She's too young to understand.

She managed to finish the job without anyone's help.

She'll often just sit there for hours doing nothing.

She got up from the table without eating much.

Please don't interrupt me.
