Quick French Help please!
 
Im trying to figure out this one question. I need to say "Wash your hair" Using imparative, and the reflexive form of "to wash". Would it be Lavez-vous les cheveux? or like vous vous lavez les cheveux? Im looking through my book, and i cant figure it out. thanks.

It would be lavez-vous tes cheveux. I think?

I could be way off base, but that's my best educated guess. Tes because it's your and not the... :)

actually i'm pretty sure it's Lavez-vous les cheveux.

[im in ap french right now, but i could be wrong]

kolila 02-17-2005 10:35 PM

sorry my bad laziez-vous is imparfait

la petite moi 02-20-2005 10:44 PM

It's definitely "lavez-vous les cheveux".

Hope you got it right!

^ true for the plural or the formal. The personal, singular way is "lave-toi les cheveux" or simply "lave t'es cheveux"

I agree with Furry.

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and we would say "lave tes cheveux".

However, it DOES depend on why you need it or what you're using it for.

Typically when you're learning French in a class, you have to use the formal unless it's asked to for you to use informal. He asked for the formal. (That's what the teacher always taught us)
