(to) get up- levantar-se, subir. attention to following minimal detail; if an interjection, change the meaning/sense.
get up! - levante-se!
(to) wake - v.t. despertar, acordar (also with up)- animar, ativar, avivar, estimular, excitar (generally with up), perturbar, provocar , reviver, ressucitar, , perturbar o silêncio (de uma cidade etc.) v.i. despertar, acordar (also with up), estar desperto, alerta ou vigilante, animar-se, pôr-se em atividade, prestar atenção (generally with up), ressucitar, reviver.
(to) stand up- levantar-se, ficar de pé, agüentar,durar, ser satisfatório.
= = = = = = == = = = = = == = = In a jiffy,and in a basic level I would say that:
wake up: is to rouse from sleep, awaken. (the first thing we do in early day). to get up: to raise to our feet, to rise as from bed. (next thing we do in early day) to stand up: became erect/upright , the action of standing. (from then onwards we can do plenty of things, like brush the teeth, wash and so on.)
I hope this helps. |
