I suppose my Tyl Sjok will work a bit like Japanese (but without politeness levels or formal addressing): in recipes I'd expect agents not to be used, so you get unspecified actors, i.e., something that translates to passive voice. Maybe, but I have to investigate my language further for telling this safely, this is the normal imperative form (maybe imperative uses a direct addressing). **Henrik
