In this lesson, you will learn how to form and use reflexive and imperative verbs in Ukrainian. These are important and commonly used verb categories in the language, so understanding them will greatly improve your communication skills.


== Reflexive Verbs ==
== Reflexive Verbs ==


Reflexive verbs are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same thing. This is indicated by the use of a reflexive pronoun. In Ukrainian, reflexive pronouns are formed by adding the suffix "-ся" to the end of the verb.
Reflexive verbs are a special type of verb in Ukrainian that indicate that the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb. In other words, the action of the verb is performed by the subject on itself. Reflexive verbs are commonly used in Ukrainian to express actions that involve oneself, such as getting dressed or washing one's hands. To form reflexive verbs in Ukrainian, the reflexive pronoun "себе" (sebe) is added to the verb.


For example, the verb "мити" means "to wash." To make it reflexive, we add "-ся" to the end: "митися" (to wash oneself).
For example:
* Я мию руки. (Ya miyu ruky.) - I wash my hands.
* Я мию себе. (Ya miyu sebe.) - I wash myself.


Here are some more examples:
Here are some common reflexive verbs in Ukrainian:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| готуватися || hɔtu'vatisja || to prepare oneself
| одягатися || od-yahatysya || to get dressed
|-
|-
| розумітися || rɔzu'mitɪsʲa || to understand each other
| знайомитися || zna-yo-mytysya || to get acquainted
|-
|-
| звернутися || zvɛrnu'tɪsʲa || to address oneself to
| вмиватися || vmee-va-tysya || to wash oneself
|-
| голитися || ho-ly-ty-sya || to shave
|-
| прокидатися || pro-ky-da-tysya || to wake up
|-
| сміятися || smee-ya-tysya || to laugh
|-
| розумітися || ro-zoo-mee-ty-sya || to understand
|}
|}


Note that in the present tense, reflexive verbs use the reflexive pronoun as the object of the sentence. For example: "Я миюсь" (I am washing myself).
== Imperative Verbs ==


In addition to the present tense, reflexive verbs can also be used in the past and future tenses. Here is an example in the past tense:
Imperative verbs are used to give commands or make requests in Ukrainian. They are formed by using the base form of the verb without any subject pronoun. The imperative form of the verb is used when addressing a single person or a group of people. The subject pronoun is often omitted in imperative sentences, as it is understood from the context.


"Я вчора мився" (I washed myself yesterday).
For example:
* Мов! (Mov!) - Speak!
* Зачекай! (Za-che-kay!) - Wait!


And here is an example in the future tense:
Here are some common imperative verbs in Ukrainian:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| розкажи || roz-ka-zhi || tell
|-
| почекай || po-che-kay || wait
|-
| зроби || zro-by || do
|-
| прийди || priy-di || come
|-
| послухай || po-slu-hay || listen
|-
| подивись || po-dy-vys || look
|-
| підійди || pi-di-yd || approach
|}


"Я піде гуляти, коли помиється" (I will go for a walk when I wash myself).

== Imperative Verbs ==
In Ukrainian, reflexive imperative verbs are used to give commands or make requests in which the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb. These verbs are formed by combining the reflexive pronoun "себе" (sebe) with the base form of the verb.


Imperative verbs are used to give commands or orders. In Ukrainian, imperative verbs are formed by using the stem of the verb and adding the appropriate ending.
For example:
* Вмий себе! (Vmiy sebe!) - Wash yourself!
* Одягни себе! (Odyahni sebe!) - Dress yourself!


The imperative forms of verbs can vary depending on the gender and number of the person being addressed. For example, the imperative form of the verb "читати" (to read) can be:
Here are some common reflexive imperative verbs in Ukrainian:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Gender !! Singular !! Plural
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| помийтеся || po-miy-te-sya || wash yourselves
|-
| привітайтеся || pri-vi-tai-te-sya || greet each other
|-
| не смійтесь || ne smee-ys || don't laugh
|-
|-
| Masculine || читай || читайте
| посміхніться || po-smikh-nit-sya || smile
|-
|-
| Feminine || читай || читайте
| розслабтеся || roz-sla-bte-sya || relax
|-
|-
| Neuter || читай || читайте
| не хвилюйтесь || ne khvi-lyu-yte-sya || don't worry
|}
|}
Here are some more examples of imperative verbs:
* "Напиши" (write)
* "Приготуйте" (prepare)
* "Послухайте" (listen)
Note that in informal situations, the imperative form can sometimes be simplified by dropping the subject pronoun. For example: "Йди туди" (Go there).
