What is the difference between やめてくれ AND やめて so what does putting Kure and not putting Kure means behind verbs?

Question:




Answer:


Japanese is a sexist language. Meaning men and women speak quite differently. In the case you mentioned, "kure-" is almost monopolized by men. It's rare that women say "yamete-kure;" they'd say "Yamete" most of the time. The meaning is unchanged whether with or without "kure."

These so-called "suffixes" are the most sexist part of our language. Having a girl character in your manga say "yamete-kure" would be a good way to give her a tomboy character.
