Reflexive Verbs and Reflexive Pronouns

This Spanish Grammar online topic covers Reflexive Verbs and Reflexive Pronouns. In Spanish, a verb is considered reflexive if the subject (the performer of the action) and the object (the receiver of the action)

are the same.

Heres an example of a reflexive verb being used in English:

I wash myself.

In the above sentence the verb wash is considered reflexive because the subject or the one performing the action (I) and the object or the one receiving the action (myself) are the same. On the other hand, if I said I wash the baby, the verb wash is no longer reflexive because the subject or the one performing the action (I) and the object or the one receiving the action (baby) are not the same.

Spanish reflexive verbs consist of a verb and a reflexive pronoun.

The following are reflexive pronouns or permainan online objects of reflexive verbs.

me myself

te yourself (tú form)

se yourself (usted form)

nos ourselves

se themselves, yourselves

When there is just one verb in the sentence, the reflexive pronoun must come before the reflexive verb.

Me bańo.

I wash myself

However, when there are two verbs in the sentence, the reflexive pronoun either comes right before the first verb or follows the second verb.

Quiero bańarme.

I want to wash myself.

Me quiero bańar.

I want to wash myself.

Here are some examples using reflexive verbs.

Me afeito

I shave myself

Te duchas

You take a shower

Se llama Juan

He calls himself John

Nos dormimos

We fall asleep

No nos sentamos

We dont sit down

Se enojan

They get mad

Se levantan

All of you get up

Te cepillas los dientes

You brush your teeth.

Literally, arsip brasil los dientes means the teeth and not your teeth. Since we are using the reflexive pronoun te it is obvious whose teeth we are talking about.

Here some common reflexive verbs in Spanish.

acostarse to go to bed

afeitarse to shave oneself

bańarse to bathe oneself

casarse (con alguien) to get married, to marry someone

cepillarse to brush oneself
