What are Reflexive Verbs?[edit | edit source]

Reflexive verbs are verbs where the subject performs an action on itself. In Romanian, these verbs are accompanied by reflexive pronouns, which indicate that the action is reflected back to the subject. For instance, in English, we say "I wash myself," where "myself" is the reflexive pronoun that indicates the action is performed by the subject on itself.

In Romanian, the structure often appears as follows:

Romanian: Eu mă spăl.

Translation: I wash myself.

The reflexive pronoun "mă" (myself) reflects the action back to the subject "eu" (I).

Importance of Reflexive Verbs[edit | edit source]

Understanding reflexive verbs is crucial for beginners in Romanian for several reasons:

Self-Action Descriptions: They help describe personal routines and activities, making your speech more relatable.

Cultural Relevance: Many reflexive verbs are used in everyday Romanian, and recognizing them will help you understand conversations better.

Complex Sentences: They pave the way for constructing more complex sentences, enhancing your overall proficiency in Romanian.

Reflexive Pronouns in Romanian[edit | edit source]

In Romanian, reflexive pronouns change based on the subject. Here’s a quick overview:

Subject	Pronoun
eu (I)	mă
tu (you - singular)	te
el/ea (he/she)	se
noi (we)	ne
voi (you - plural)	vă
ei/ele (they)	se

Conjugating Reflexive Verbs[edit | edit source]

Conjugating reflexive verbs involves two components: the verb itself and the appropriate reflexive pronoun. The reflexive pronoun is placed before the verb in Romanian.

Here’s how you would conjugate the verb a spăla (to wash):

Pronoun	Conjugation
eu (I)	mă spăl
tu (you - singular)	te speli
el/ea (he/she)	se spală
noi (we)	ne spălăm
voi (you - plural)	vă spălați
ei/ele (they)	se spală

Now that you understand the basics, let’s look at more examples to illustrate reflexive verbs in different contexts!

-In Romanian, reflexive verbs are verbs that indicate an action that the subject performs on itself. The action of the verb is directed back to the subject. Reflexive verbs are formed by adding the reflexive pronoun "se" to the verb. For example, the verb "a spăla" (to wash) becomes "a se spăla" (to wash oneself).

-* Te (yourself)
-* Se (himself/herself/itself)
-* Ne (ourselves)
-* Vă (yourselves)
