FormationVerb ない-form + でください

Use 〜ないでください when you want to politely ask or request that someone not do something.

How to form it: verb ない-form + でください. It is the "negative version" of 〜てください.

Compared with 〜てはいけません (an outright prohibition), 〜ないでください sounds much softer and more polite, so it suits strangers or people above you.
