What is the literal translation of "sachez" from French to English, please?

I saw this on a French poster - "... sachez apprecieter ...." and it started an argument amongst my colleagues. One thinks is is the subjective of "savoir". Is that correct?

"Sachez" is the Imperative, 2d person plural, of "savoir" : "to know".

"Sachez apprécier ..." means "Know how to appreciate ... "

"sachez" is the imperative from the verb "savoir"
and "sachez apprecier" means "know how to appreciate"

Edit: Erik Van Thienen you were a few seconds faster

It is the imperative of the verb "savoir".
In that case, it would basically translate as "(Please) know how to appreciate", "Please appreciate" or "Learn to appreciate"
It is a request for respect of what is said after.
Hope this helps.

My brother is French and he says there is no such word in French. If the word is purported to be French, he says, then it must be slang and should be avoided like the peste!
