早はやく起おきなさい
Meaning:
“Wake up quickly.” / “Get up now.”
This is the correct expression when **you are waking up a child**.
✔ Option 1 is a natural command used by a parent or teacher.
✔ Option 2 means “Go wake someone up,” which is wrong because the child is the one being woken.
✔ Option 3 means “Stay asleep,” which is the opposite of what you want.
Example:
「早はやく起おきなさい、学校に遅おくれるよ。」
(Wake up quickly, you’ll be late for school.)
