Cover your head ! Couvrez-vous-la! OR Couvrez-la-vous!

Question

The verb used is “se couvrir” but would ‘la’ precede ‘vous’ ?

Is it that “vous” here is a Reflexive Pronoun ? If so , there is a lesson stating at Kwiziq that reflexive pronouns precede direct object pronouns -

Position of Double Pronouns in French - Reflexive Pronoun + Direct Object Pronoun

I suppose that here vous behaves like an indirect object pronoun. Is this the justification?

Madame, please guide how to figure this out .

Merci encore . Cordialement,

Shrey.

Accepted Answer

It is couvrez-vous-la ! -- Put on your hat! (more literally: cover your head)
As you point out, vous is the reflexive, since the verb is se couvrir. La is the pronoun for the direct object (la tête).

Answer

Bonjour à tous !
Indeed, here you are correct when you point out that "se couvrir" is the reflexive verb, therefore our question was incorrect.
We're so sorry about that, the question has now been removed to be replaced with an appropriate case :)
So, just to be clear, the correct sentence is :Couvrez-vous la !
Merci beaucoup et bonne journée !

Hi Aurélie, is this definitely correct? I would be interested on your opinions on this thread:https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/fr-imp%C3%A9ratif-and-reflexive-pronouns.913557/

Answer

Maybe a more common example is:Lavez-vous les mains. Lavez-les-vous.If you google "lavez-les-vous" you can find this example in some textbooks, and a few adverts for things like Dove soap, Dettol etc.
