How do I say "brush your teeth" in espanol?

Question

Would I tell my kid, "Limpio los dientes" if I want to say, "Brush your teeth" ?

Thanks so much!

Even if you were going to incorrectly use limpiar as the verb inthis command you would use limpia because it is the familiar imperativo. - pescador1, Apr 11, 2010

Answer 1

If you were telling your kid to brush their teeth you would be talking to them in a familiar manner, so you would say: Cepíllate los dientes and not cepíllese los dientes.

thank you pescador1!! I have now just covered this video lesson, so I understand :-) - AKgal, Apr 14, 2010

Literally is cepillarse los dientes, but we say "lavarse los dientes" is more common

Answer 4

"cepillar sus dientes"

Answer 5

"cepillarse los dientes" is what the translator says. Someone else may comment on whether it is a natural statement.That is not conjugated.

Hi niz, this is to clean your teeth. So you are correct, you have to conjugate the verb in the familiar imperative. See pescador's answer. - Eddy, Apr 11, 2010
