たまえ is a strong-sounding word, and generally only the boss can say this to employees.
I mean, only people with high status can use it to people with low status.
It also feels a little easy-going (no need to be too formal).
For example:
- 早く食べたまえ
- Eat faster (parents say to children)
やめたまえ≈やめてください≈やめろ=Stop it
It is a euphemistic command that only men can use.
It is difficult to hear people say "やめたまえ" in daily life, and you can often see it in Anime or novels.
