The original post is gone, but (in case it’s still relevant) tratá is the “singular you” imperative/command form of tratar in Uruguayan/Argentinean Spanish.
The present tense for “singular you” is also different down there: vos tratás, not tu tratas. (Vos is only a subject or object. Other forms are the normal ones: tu madre, tus zapatos, calmarte, etc.)
The nice thing about these forms is that they are NEVER irregular—they’re alws formed from the infinitive exactly the same way, regardless of how wildly different the standard conjugations are.

Thank you for the additional helpful and clarifying information. In my original post, I did not realize that this sentence was Uruguayan/Argentinean Spanish. I wrote that I thought that the ’ in “Tratá” was an error. After I realized my mistake, I asked a moderator to delete my post. I did not get a response so I erased my comment. I never found out how to delete my original post. If you know how to delete a post, that would be helpful information for me and probably other users.
