I agree... "Cuídense"/"cuídese"/"cuídate" would be the most common ways to say "take care".

Some people I know tend to also say "con cuidado", but that rather sounds like a mother talking to her children.

Unhappy tilde sobre la forma verbal

Quote:
Me suena mejor 'cuidense'.
Me han sugerido, con mucha gentileza, de tildar 'cuidense' pero no sé si hacerlo sobre la 'i' o sobre la 'u', siendo que me encuentro delante un hiato (o iato). Consultando lo consultable en esta materia, me encontré con muchas opiniones al respecto: tildar la 'u', tildar la 'i', sin tilde ninguna de las dos. (Pueden verificar Uds. mismos). Bueno, elijo 'cuídense'.
Gracias.

Juntas, las dos vocales débiles (ui), hacen un diptongo. La vocal débil acentuada se vuelve fuerte, así que si se acentúa la u, el diptongo se rompe.

Es un diptongo. Lo siento mucho, pero me equivoqué.

No pasa nada. Hiatos y diptongos con frecuencia dependen de la región donde se pronuncien.
