Dúchate

Dúchate is a Spanish term that translates to "take a shower" in English. It is commonly used as an imperative, meaning it is a command or instruction directed at someone. The verb "duchar" means "to shower" or "to bathe," and "te" is the reflexive pronoun for "you" (informal singular). Therefore, "Dúchate" is the command form to tell one person to shower themselves.

The phrase is a direct and informal way to tell someone to clean themselves. It is often used in everyday conversations within Spanish-speaking households or among close friends. For instance, a parent might say "Dúchate antes de cenar" (Take a shower before dinner) to their child. It is not typically used in formal settings or when addressing someone you do not know well, where more polite or indirect phrasing might be preferred. The formal equivalent, addressing someone with "usted," would be "Dúchese."
