How do you say "wash your hands" in Spanish?

*sigh*





I wish more people used accent marks properly in Spanish. The CORRECT way to write it in the singular form of %26quot;you%26quot; is:





L谩vate las manos (informal)


L谩vese las manos (formal)








Since %26quot;you%26quot; can also be plural (as in %26quot;you all%26quot;), here are the ways to say it in plural:





Lavaros las manos (informal, used mostly only in Spain)


L谩vense las manos (formal in Spain, and either formal or informal almost anywhere else)|||Lavarse sus manos.|||Only Sexy One got it right. People, don%26#039;t translate word by word %26#039;cause that ain%26#039;t right. In Spanish, they don%26#039;t say Wash your hands. They say Wash yourself the hands. And don%26#039;t forget the accent mark; it does matter.|||lava sus manos|||Lavate las manos - if you are commanding





Lavese las manos - very polite|||%26quot;Lava tus manos%26quot;,





you can probably learn it like this





%26quot;Luvba too%26#039;s Ma-no%26#039;s%26quot;|||Lavate las manos|||imperative (as in command): lavate tus manos.


formal, polite: lavense sus manos
