The order word "das" was invented a few years ago, when Slovio was in its beginnings. Do you have another, better BUT SIMPLE idea what should replace it?
=================
(ORDERS.
DAS is the universal word for imperatives. A statement can be changed to an order simply by starting the sentence with \"DAS\". A question can be changed to an order simply by replacing \"LI\" with \"DAS\".
Examples: Cxitasx knig. / You are reading a book. // Li cxitasx knig? / Are you reading a book? // Das cxitasx knig! / Read a book!
The other way to form and imperative sentence is by using the imperative form of the verb: Cxitaj knig! = Buj cxitat knig! / Read a book! If a sentence contains an imperative verb-form, then we don\'t have to add \"DAS\" to its beginning. To learn more about the imperative verb-forms visit the section \"Verbs\")

YES! Replace it by nothing. Just use, napr.: Cxitaj kniga!
.... Examples: Cxitasx knig. / You are reading a book. // Li cxitasx knig? / Are you reading a book? // Das cxitasx knig! / Read a book!
The other way to form and imperative sentence is by using the imperative form of the verb: Cxitaj knig! = Buj cxitat knig! / Read a book! If a sentence contains an imperative verb-form, then we don\'t have to add \"DAS\" to its beginning. ....
- if you use ending -j as the suffix behind the verb then you don't need DAS.
the same it is with question (if you use verb in the beginning then you don't
need any other auxilliary word for expressing question.
- I do not understand the second half of your clause :
... contains an imperative verb-form, then we don\'t have to add \"DAS\" to its beginning. ....
If you do imperativ you should put verb in a beginning of a sentence, shouldn't you ? So, why do you need any DAS for that ?
And even your imperative is done by -j ending so why "add" some other auxilliar word ?
Are you sure we can find some common Slavic intonation? It's not possible to find it even within one language - Bohemians are called "siskins" by Moravians because Bohemian speech is distinctive enough to resemble singing to Moravians (hence the comparison to birds).
