Answer 1

If you are telling someone to get up out of bed, I would use the imperative form of the verb "levantar". If I were speaking of getting myself up, I would use the reflexive form of the verb.

Here is a link to the conjugation page for the verb.

If you are telling someone to stand from a sitting position, I would use "de pie, por favor".

Answer 2

Welcome to Spanishdict!! To get up in the morning is levantarse, whilst to stand up can be levantarse or ponerse de pie. Despertarse is the verb, for to wake up if that's what you mean.

This website has excellent translation resources and its very own dictionary!! So, next time when you have a word to look up, the dictionary link on the menu at the top of the page, is a great place to start. However, if you have any concerns about a word, maybe when it is used or you are slightly confused, please feel free to ask here in this forum.

Thanks.

Seb.

I just read your profile. Do you want a response in Spanish?

levantarse - I get myself up

levantas - you get up

levanta - he/she/it gets up

Imperativo - Imperative

levanta - you get up (command)

levante - he/she/it get up (command)

levantemos - get up (we)

levantad - get up (ustedes)

levanten - you all get up

de pie - stand

"me levanto" means "I get myself up". "Levantarse" is the infinitive form. - malcriada, Dec 13, 2010

"levantarse" is the reflexive form. "levantar" is the infinitive. :) - 0066c384, Dec 13, 2010
