I command you to somebody, it's giving them an order, but doesn't it also mean like I admire you or something, or I thank you?
I'm not sure
Thanks

No, it's a difference of one letter, the admiration would be COMMEND.

A police officer can 'command' you to take a breath test (as in the ten Commandments).
To direct with authority; give orders to.
To have control or authority over; rule: a general who commands an army.
To have at one's disposal: a person who commands seven languages.
To deserve and receive as due; exact: The troops' bravery commanded respect.
I 'commend' you as a true friend to my parents (as in recommend).
To represent as worthy, qualified, or desirable; recommend.
To express approval of; praise. See synonyms at praise.
To commit to the care of another; entrust.

i'll keep an eye on your question and edit if i can.....be more specific. what language are you referring to? what do you mean by "i command you to somebody" that doesn't really make much sense. i'd love to help but i'm guessing i'm not the only one confused by your question.
