Would you please help me?

Hi friends,

I am confused with the usages of wake and awake during conversation.

When you see a person who just woke up a few hours ago, what should I say to him?

1.You have awaken already?
2.You have already waken up?

I don't know, they sound weird. Could you show me some examples.

Thank you

Hi Mister Micawber ,

Thanks for your answer, but I wasn't wanting to ask if he had just wake up. It's like when a child just woke up and you wanted to say something simple to him. Usually what would you say?

Regards

That is what I gave you, based on the sentences that you presented, which mentioned nothing about a child or a greeting.

The sentence I gave you should be used instead of your two sentences.

If you wish to greet a child who has just awakened, then say, 'Good morning / Good afternoon, sleephead!'.

I was just trying to describe the situation properly. My 1st and 2nd post are related in order to form the whole picture. I didn't mention anything about greeting. Based on your respond, I obviously failed to describe properly. Anyway I have already found the answer that I am looking for.
