Get up & wake up
|

Hello everybody,
Is there any difference between �get up � and �wake up � in meaning or use?
Thanks in advance

Hi Hussam,
you can wake up (open your eyes [and stop sleeping, being still in bed]) and still don �t get up (get out of your bed), so the difference is quite big and clear. We can say: I woke up at 6.00 but it was not my time to get up so I stayed in bed until 7.00 when I finally got up.
I hope it �s clear now for you,
A.

Wake up is the moment you don �t sleep any more. Get up is when you get out of bed. The fact that you wake up, doesn �t mean that you get up. You might stay in bed, have breakfast, read ... |

Is there the same distinction in most languages? Se reveiller/se lever, svegliarsi/alzarsi etc.... |

I think so, Lynn. In Slavic languages the difference occurs as clearly as it does in Germanic and Romance languages.
