Stand Up! Sit Down!

Postby JamesJ » 2007-01-10, 5:10

Labdien everyone, could someone translate 'Stand up!' and 'Sit down!' as a plural imperative (eg talking to a class full of students). Sorry, my Latvian's so rusty now, I just want to be sure. Paldies!

You might want to know that these are reflexive verbs, so you also can say sēdiet :wink:
