Réveillez-vous or Réveille-toi?

Question

Tell your friend: "Wake up!": ________ !(HINT: se réveiller = to wake up)My answer is Réveillez-vous, and why is it not correct?

Accepted Answer

Hi Nil,
As Chris points out, you would use the 'tu' form for a friend so it would be -
Réveille-toi!

Answer

I guess the part where it says "tell your friend" is supposed to clue you in on using the familiar toi.

Answer

Bonjour Nil,

With “Tell your
friends”, se réveiller
would become
‘réveillez-vous’
as we know for sure that
there are more than one
friend.

As
Chris mentioned “Tell your
friend” gives
you the clue that the relationship between the person talking and the
person being talked to is a close relationship, close enough to be
considered a friend.  Therefore ‘toi’ is the correct pronoun.

I hope this is
helpful.
Bonne journée!
