Commands with reflexive pronouns (lève-toi)

Just like direct object pronouns, reflexive pronouns move to the end of the verb in an affirmative command and are attached with a hyphen.

For an informal command to one person, the reflexive pronoun te changes to -toi:

Put on this bathrobe and relax.
Mets ce peignoir et détends-toi.
Breathe deeply and rest.
Respire profondément et repose-toi.

To suggest that "we" do a relaxing activity together, use the nous form of the command and attach -nous:

Let's relax in the hot bath.
Détendons-nous dans le bain chaud.

When addressing a group or speaking formally to one person, use the vous form of the verb and attach -vous:

Breathe deeply and get up slowly.
Respirez profondément et levez-vous lentement.
Wash your back with some gentle soap and go to the sauna.
Lavez-vous le dos avec du savon doux et allez au sauna.
