"Sie steht spät auf."

Translation: She gets up late.

[MichalMetl1]

Not sure whether this is the right translation

[quis_lib_duo]

It is. aufstehen = to get up (from bed)

[mizinamo]

I think a more likely translation is "She gets up late" (in general), rather than "She is getting up late" (right now).

[AliT.Firefly]

Is it me or is the emphasis in the female voice-reading peculiar?

Why 'steht' for 'gets up'

[mizinamo]

Why 'steht' for 'gets up'

It's not steht alone; it's steht ... auf.

aufstehen is to get up (from bed), i.e. to put your feet on the floor and stand up so that you're no longer lying in bed.

(aufstehen also applies to standing up from a chair or other place where you're sitting or lying.)
