In a sentence

おこらないで怒らないでdon't get angry

Don't get angry

How it works

This is a gentle “please don’t” request. Start from 怒るおこる (get angry), make it negative 怒らないおこらない (don’t get angry), then add (don’t (request)) to soften it into a plea: “don’t get angry (at me).” The (don’t (request)) here isn’t a particle — it’s what turns a plain negative into a request. There’s no polite です (is) or ます (polite), so it sounds close and casual, the way you’d speak to a friend.
