My understanding is this:

待って　Matte is a request.
待て　　Mate is a command.

Adding "yo" after "Matte" (request) makes it a stronger request. It's more blunt, it makes it a less calm tone.

Adding "yo" after "Mate" (command) makes it a weaker command. It's not as blunt, it makes it a calmer tone.

Is this right? Does it work this way for most verbs?


Thanks!
