Review Summary

  • Verb + се
  • Verb + си

자주 하는 실수

Do not repeat the reflexive pronoun. One 'се' is enough.

Wrong: Аз се мия се.
정답: Аз се мия.

Actually correct, but beginners often forget 'си' when referring to body parts.

Wrong: Мия си лицето.
정답: Мия си лицето.

The reflexive pronoun must follow the verb, not precede it.

Wrong: Се мия.
정답: Мия се.

Next Steps

You have done an amazing job! Keep practicing these reflexive forms and they will become second nature.

자주 묻는 질문 (6)

In the first person singular, 'се' becomes 'ме'. It's just a grammatical rule for clitics.
No, only with verbs that allow reflexive or reciprocal meaning, or inherent reflexive verbs.
No, only when referring to your own body parts, possessions, or actions for your benefit.
Most transitive verbs can take 'си' if the action is personal.
No. In true reflexive constructions, 'се' is used for all persons. 'Ме' and 'те' are used when someone ELSE does the action to you.
'Се' is for direct actions (I wash myself), while 'си' is for dative/indirect actions (I wash MY hands).
