ないで is just the te form of 無い (ない)
If ないで is at the end of the sentence, it just means "don't"

@harshitsushma Not sure what you mean by "for other person"
書かない = Will not write
I'm also learning Japanese so I don't know if people write "書きませ", but it looks to me like it should be "書きません”
書きません = Do not write

@harshitsushma English doesn’t have 敬語 for it so there’s no difference! 英語は敬語がありませんから、構いません！
But if you were asking about ないで and ないでください, in English it is “don’t ____” and “please don’t _____”

ookkkkk....then ( nai) - will not
(...masen) - don't ....isn't it???
(...masen) - don't ....isn't it???

@harshitsushma 「ない」と「ません」について、英語で構わなくて同じ翻訳です。どっちも「will not/won’t」です。
例)
忘れません = I will not forget
忘れません = I will not forget
(同じ)
でも、「ないで」と「ないでください」でしたら、「don’t ____」と「please don’t ____」です。
例)
忘れないで = don’t forget
忘れないでください = please don’t forget

@harshitsushma I put (私は)忘れない because the translation depends on the pronoun. 英語の翻訳は代名詞(例えば:私・あなた・彼)の次第から、「(私は)忘れない」を入れました。
例:
彼らは書かない They will not write
あなたは書かない You will not write
彼女は書かない She will not write
I hope this makes sense!
