Levantarse vs levantate

Question

First what is the difference? and which would I use to say "Get up" like giving a command to someone? muchas gracias por su ayuda

Answer 1

If you are telling someone (tú) to get up you would attach the pronoun to the end of the command and it would be : ¡levántate!
first conjugate levantar for a positive tú command using the ending for the 3rd person indicative present. : levanta then add your pronoun: te (my personal favorite of these is ¡diviértete! jaja)

Levantarse is the infinitive form of the verb

I'm not a native speaker so if this is incorrect, someone please tell me. However, I'm relatively sure this is right.
