Reflexive Verbs in Serbian[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
In Serbian, reflexive verbs are used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is also the object of the action. In other words, the subject is doing something to itself. Reflexive verbs are formed by adding the reflexive pronoun “sebe” after the verb.
Formation of Reflexive Verbs[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
To form reflexive verbs in Serbian, you need to add the reflexive pronoun “sebe” after the verb. The reflexive pronoun must agree with the subject in gender and number.
For example:
Serbian | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
---|---|---|
On pravi krevet. | Oн прави кревет. | O otaqda yataq hazırlayır. (He makes the bed.) |
On pravi krevet za sebe. | Oн прави кревет за себе. | O özü üçün yataq hazırlayır. (He makes the bed for himself.) |
As you can see in the example above, the verb “pravi” (to make) becomes reflexive when the pronoun “sebe” is added after the verb to indicate that the subject is making the bed for themselves.
