"Preparu vin!"

Translation: Prepare yourself!

"Mi batalas por miaj amikoj!"

[thraenthraen]

Didn't try it, but since there's no plural you in Esperanto, could this also be translated as "Prepare yourselves!"?

[jcreed]

Yeah, that seems like it ought to also be an acceptable translation.

[Renardo_11]

Compromise: In everyday Esperanto there is no difference between singular you and plural you. They say Zamenhof was afraid that a plural (only) you would be used as a polite singular form and cause all kinds of confusion.

So yes, “yourselves” and “yourself” are equally good translations here.

Is Preparu sin! acceptable for this?

Sorry, no. Contrary to Slavic languages, in Esperanto “si” is used only for the third person, and when you give an order the person addressed is the second person.

So it's

• mi preparas min
• vi preparas vin
• li/oni/ŝi/iu preparas sin (preparing oneself)
• li/oni/ŝi/iu preparas lin / ŝin (preparing someone else)

etc.

En guarde!

I was expecting "Preparigxu!" Considering that we are in the ig/igx module.

Ĉu "Prepariĝu!" ne estas akceptita?
Ĉu iu povas konfirmi se ĝi estas korekta?

[deactivated user]

I assume "preparigxu" would mean exactly the same?
