<h1>Introduction</h1>
=== What are Reflexive Verbs? ===
<p>Salut! Benvinguts de nou. Avui, aprendrem sobre verbs reflexius. Aquests són verbs que quan es fan servir, són acompanyats d'un pronoms reflexiu que indica que l'acció del verb es realitza a l'objecte del verb. S'utilitzen en molts temps diferents, i per això els explicarem des del principi.</p>
 
Reflexive verbs are verbs that involve actions that the subject performs on itself. In Catalan, these verbs are accompanied by reflexive pronouns that indicate the action is being done to oneself. Reflexive verbs are often used in daily routines, expressions of feelings, and many other contexts.
 
'''Reflexive Pronouns in Catalan''':
 
* '''m'''' (myself)
 
* '''t'''' (yourself - informal)
 
* '''es''' (himself/herself/itself)
 
* '''nos''' (ourselves)
 
* '''vos''' (yourselves - formal or plural)
 
* '''se''' (themselves)
 
=== The Structure of Reflexive Verbs ===
 
To form a reflexive verb in Catalan, you need two components:
 
1. The reflexive pronoun that corresponds to the subject.
 
2. The conjugated form of the verb.
 
For example, the verb "aixecar" (to lift) becomes "aixecar-se" (to get up) when used reflexively.
 
=== Conjugation of Reflexive Verbs ===
 
Reflexive verbs are conjugated just like regular verbs, but you must include the reflexive pronoun. Let's explore how to conjugate reflexive verbs in the present, past, and future tenses.
 
==== Present Tense ====
 
To conjugate reflexive verbs in the present tense, follow these steps:
 
1. Conjugate the verb according to the subject.
 
2. Add the reflexive pronoun in front of the conjugated verb.
 
Here’s an example with the verb "rentar-se" (to wash oneself):
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Subject !! Reflexive Pronoun !! Conjugated Verb !! English
 
|-
 
| Jo (I) || m' || rento || I wash myself
 
|-
 
| Tu (You - informal) || t' || rentes || You wash yourself
 
|-
 
| Ell/Ella (He/She) || es || renta || He/She washes himself/herself
 
|-
 
| Nosaltres (We) || ns || rentem || We wash ourselves
 
|-
 
| Vosaltres (You - plural/formal) || vos || renteu || You wash yourselves
 
|-
 
| Ells/Elles (They) || se || renten || They wash themselves
 
|}
 
==== Past Tense ====
 
In the past tense, reflexive verbs use the auxiliary verb "haver" (to have) plus the past participle of the main verb. The reflexive pronoun remains in the same position.
 
Example with "aixecar-se" (to get up):
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Subject !! Reflexive Pronoun !! Auxiliary Verb !! Past Participle !! English
 
|-
 
| Jo (I) || m' || he || aixecat || I have gotten up
 
|-
 
| Tu (You - informal) || t' || has || aixecat || You have gotten up
 
|-


<h2>Tips for learning reflexive verbs in Catalan</h2>
| Ell/Ella (He/She) || s' || ha || aixecat || He/She has gotten up
<ul>
<li>Practice with exercises and drills until you feel confident with conjugation and usage</li>
<li>Read books or articles in Catalan that use reflexive verbs to reinforce the grammar concept</li>
<li>Watch movies or TV shows in Catalan with subtitles to become more familiar with common reflexive verbs and their usage</li>
</ul>


<h2>Reflexive pronouns in different tenses</h2>
|-
<p>Per als verbs reflexius, es fa servir un pronom reflexiu. El pronom reflexiu sempre va davant el verb conjugat. És el pronombre equivalent a 'a mi mateix', 'a tu mateix' o 'a ell mateix'. Els pronoms reflexius amb les formes de passat es combinen amb les formes verbals del verb ‘haver’ i la particula ‘-se’ per aconseguir les formes verbals dels temps compostos: passat i futur.</p>


<p>A continuació, veurem una taula amb els subjectes i els pronoms reflexius que els acompanyen en cadascun dels temps verbal:</p>
| Nosaltres (We) || ns || hem || aixecat || We have gotten up
 
|-
 
| Vosaltres (You - plural/formal) || vos || heu || aixecat || You have gotten up
 
|-
 
| Ells/Elles (They) || se || han || aixecat || They have gotten up
 
|}
 
==== Future Tense ====
 
For the future tense, the structure is similar to the present tense, but we add the appropriate future tense ending to the verb.
 
Example with "vestir-se" (to dress oneself):


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Subjecte !! Present !! Imperfect !! Preterite Indefinit !! Future !! Conditional
 
! Subject !! Reflexive Pronoun !! Conjugated Verb !! English
 
|-
|-
| Jo || em || em || em vaig || em aniré || em aniria
 
| Jo (I) || m' || vestiré || I will dress myself
 
|-
|-
| Tu || et || et || et vas || et aniràs || et aniries
 
| Tu (You - informal) || t' || vestiràs || You will dress yourself
 
|-
|-
| Ell/Ella || es || es || es va || es anirà || es aniria
 
| Ell/Ella (He/She) || es || vestirà || He/She will dress himself/herself
 
|-
|-
| Nosaltres || ens || ens || ens vam || ens anirem || ens aniríem 
 
| Nosaltres (We) || ns || vestirem || We will dress ourselves
 
|-
|-
| Vosaltres || us || us || us vau || us anireu || us aniríeu
 
| Vosaltres (You - plural/formal) || vos || vestireu || You will dress yourselves
 
|-
|-
| Els/Elles || es || es || es van || es aniran || es anirien 
 
| Ells/Elles (They) || se || vestiran || They will dress themselves
 
|}
|}


<h2>Reflexive verbs in the present tense</h2>
=== Examples of Reflexive Verbs in Context ===
<p>Per conjugat els verbs reflexius en el present de subjuntiu es fa d'aquesta manera:</p>


# Jo m'enamori
Now that we have covered the conjugation, let’s look at some examples of reflexive verbs in real-life situations. Here are 20 useful reflexive verbs that you will likely encounter:
# Tu t'enamoris
# Ells/es s'enamori
# Nosaltres ens enamorem
# Vosaltres us enamoreu
# Ells/es s'enamorin


<p>Aquest seria un exemple de com es conjugaria el verb 'enamorar-se' en el present de subjuntiu segons la persona. Això resultarà en moltes formes verbals, però no et preocupis! Amb pràctica i sensació de com suena la forma general, serà més fàcil entendre.</p>
{| class="wikitable"


<h2>Reflexive verbs in the preterite tense</h2>
! Catalan !! Pronunciation !! English
<p>Per conjugat els verbs reflexius en el pretèrit, s'utilitza el pronom davant del verb, i també es considera el gènere i el nombre del subjecte.</p>


<p>Per exemple, el verb reflexiu 'rentar-se' es conjugaria en el pretèrit de la següent manera:</p>
|-


# Jo em vaig rentar
| aixecar-se || aɪʃəˈkaɾsə || to get up
# Tu et vas rentar
# Ell/Ella/ Vostè es va rentar
# Nosaltres ens vam rentar
# Vosaltres us vau rentar
# Ells/Elles/ Vostès es van rentar


<h2>Reflexive verbs in the future and conditional tenses</h2>
|-
<p>En el futur tense s'utilitza el verb "anar" juntament amb el pronom reflexiu per a la majoria de verbs reflexius, mentre que en els verbs que es poden moure amb l'infinitiu es col·loca el pronom reflexiu immediatament davant de l'infinitiu.</p>


<p>Per exemple, la conjugació del verb reflexiu 'atraure's' en el futur seria:</p>
| rentar-se || rənˈtaɾsə || to wash oneself


# Jo m'atrauré
|-
# Tu et tornaràs
# Ell/Ella/ Vostè es tornarà
# Nosaltres ens tornarem   
# Vosaltres us tornareu
# Ells/Elles/ Vostès es tornaran


<p>En el condicional, la conjugació del pronom reflexiu i el verb es fa de la mateixa manera que en el futur amb l'afegit del condicional del verb "anar." Per exemple, el verb reflexiu 'divertir-se' en el condicional seria:</p>
| vestir-se || vɛsˈtiɾsə || to dress oneself


# Jo m'ho passaria bé
|-
# Tu t'ho passaries bé
# Ell/Ella/ Vostè s'ho passaria bé
# Nosaltres ens ho passaríem bé   
# Vosaltres us ho passaríeu bé
# Ells/Elles/ Vostès s'ho passarien bé


<h2>Conclusion</h2>
| maquillar-se || məkijəˈɾsə || to put on makeup
<p>I aquí ho tenim! Hem après sobre els verbs reflexius i la seva conjugació en diferents temps verbals. No et preocupis si semblen una mica difícils al principi. Amb pràctica, sensació i atenció als detalls, seràs capaç de manejar aquests verbs en un no res.</p>

Catalan → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Reflexive verbs

Welcome to the lesson on reflexive verbs in Catalan! Understanding reflexive verbs is essential for anyone learning the language, as they are commonly used in everyday conversations. Reflexive verbs are unique in that the subject and object of the verb are the same; that is, the action is performed on oneself. This lesson aims to provide you with a clear understanding of reflexive verbs, their conjugations, and how to use them effectively in sentences.

In this lesson, we will cover:

  • What reflexive verbs are
  • The structure of reflexive verbs in Catalan
  • Conjugation of reflexive verbs in different tenses
  • Examples to illustrate usage
  • Practice exercises to reinforce your learning

What are Reflexive Verbs?[edit | edit source]

Reflexive verbs are verbs that involve actions that the subject performs on itself. In Catalan, these verbs are accompanied by reflexive pronouns that indicate the action is being done to oneself. Reflexive verbs are often used in daily routines, expressions of feelings, and many other contexts.

Reflexive Pronouns in Catalan:

  • m' (myself)
  • t' (yourself - informal)
  • es (himself/herself/itself)
  • nos (ourselves)
  • vos (yourselves - formal or plural)
  • se (themselves)

The Structure of Reflexive Verbs[edit | edit source]

To form a reflexive verb in Catalan, you need two components:

1. The reflexive pronoun that corresponds to the subject.

2. The conjugated form of the verb.

For example, the verb "aixecar" (to lift) becomes "aixecar-se" (to get up) when used reflexively.

Conjugation of Reflexive Verbs[edit | edit source]

Reflexive verbs are conjugated just like regular verbs, but you must include the reflexive pronoun. Let's explore how to conjugate reflexive verbs in the present, past, and future tenses.

Present Tense[edit | edit source]

To conjugate reflexive verbs in the present tense, follow these steps:

1. Conjugate the verb according to the subject.

2. Add the reflexive pronoun in front of the conjugated verb.

Here’s an example with the verb "rentar-se" (to wash oneself):

Subject Reflexive Pronoun Conjugated Verb English
Jo (I) m' rento I wash myself
Tu (You - informal) t' rentes You wash yourself
Ell/Ella (He/She) es renta He/She washes himself/herself
Nosaltres (We) ns rentem We wash ourselves
Vosaltres (You - plural/formal) vos renteu You wash yourselves
Ells/Elles (They) se renten They wash themselves

Past Tense[edit | edit source]

In the past tense, reflexive verbs use the auxiliary verb "haver" (to have) plus the past participle of the main verb. The reflexive pronoun remains in the same position.

Example with "aixecar-se" (to get up):

Subject Reflexive Pronoun Auxiliary Verb Past Participle English
Jo (I) m' he aixecat I have gotten up
Tu (You - informal) t' has aixecat You have gotten up
Ell/Ella (He/She) s' ha aixecat He/She has gotten up
Nosaltres (We) ns hem aixecat We have gotten up
Vosaltres (You - plural/formal) vos heu aixecat You have gotten up
Ells/Elles (They) se han aixecat They have gotten up

Future Tense[edit | edit source]

For the future tense, the structure is similar to the present tense, but we add the appropriate future tense ending to the verb.

Example with "vestir-se" (to dress oneself):

Subject Reflexive Pronoun Conjugated Verb English
Jo (I) m' vestiré I will dress myself
Tu (You - informal) t' vestiràs You will dress yourself
Ell/Ella (He/She) es vestirà He/She will dress himself/herself
Nosaltres (We) ns vestirem We will dress ourselves
Vosaltres (You - plural/formal) vos vestireu You will dress yourselves
Ells/Elles (They) se vestiran They will dress themselves
