અહી આવ Ahi aav/aavo


Explanation:
Friendly tone could be expressed as : ahi aav ne :the 'ne' suffix tones down the phrase which other wise was an order.
While saying ahi aavo (used for addressing an elder person or any person to be addressed respectfully) too 'ne' suffix could be used though sparingly.

neutral  Narendra Upadhyaya: Kindly note that you have written "અહી" આવ. "Anuswar" or Bindi is MISSING on "Hi-હી", in stead of correct form, "અહીં ". It may interest all to learn that 'Ahi' written as 'અહિ' means a snake. Hence, observance of Anuswar and and matraa are signifiant.
