tatsuya

是非ぜひ立たち寄よってください！ (Please stop by my house.) (请一定要顺路过来看看。) (꼭 들러주세요!) (Bạn nhớ ghé qua nhé!) (zehi tachi yotte kudasai!)

yuka

ぜひ参加さんかしてくださいね。 (Please join us!) (请一定要参加哦。) (꼭 참가해주세요.) (Nhất định phải tham gia nhé.) (zehi sanka shite kudasai ne.)

もちろん _ (出来でき)ます (mochiron_deki masu)

Of course, you can ___

“もちろん ___ (出来でき)ます(mochiron___deki masu)” means “Of course, you can do ___” and which you inform someone to do something. When putting the word of “もちろん” before “(出来でき)ます”, that would be emphasized.

Sample

tatsuya

もちろん、あなたも来これますよ。 (Of course, you can come!) (你当然也可以来啊。) (물론, 당신도 올 수 있어요.) (Tất nhiên rồi bạn cũng được đến mà.) (mochiron, anata mo kore masu yo.)

yuka

もちろん、あなたも立たち寄よれますよ！ (Of course, you can stop by my house.) (当然你也可以顺路来看看！) (물론, 당신도 들를 수 있어요!) (Tất nhiên là bạn cũng có thể ghé qua rồi.) (mochiron, anata mo tachiyore masu yo!)

tatsuya

絶対ぜったい _ してください (zettai_shite kudasai)

Don’t forget to _ / Be sure to _ / You must do ___

“絶対ぜったい ___ してください(zettai___shite kudasai)” means “Don’t forget to ___ / Be sure to ___ / You must do ___” and which you force someone what you want them to do. So, this is a quite strong word than “是非ぜひ ___ してください”.
