At the very beginning of your Spanish classes, you probably learned \u201cMe llamo\u2026\u201d <\/em>to say \u201cMy name is\u2026\u201d but did you know it literally translates to \u201cI call myself\u201d? In fact, this introductory phrase is part of a category of verbs called reflexive verbs. There are lots of reflexive verbs in Spanish that have special rules, and we\u2019ll explain them more here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosa sono i verbi riflessivi?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Si tratta di verbi in cui la persona che compie l'azione \u00e8 anche quella che la riceve. La maggior parte dei verbi ha un soggetto, colui che compie l'azione, e un oggetto, colui che riceve l'azione. In molti casi, il soggetto e l'oggetto sono diversi. Nel caso dei verbi riflessivi, sei tu a compiere l'azione verso te stesso. Puoi considerarli come verbi riflessivi <\/em>perch\u00e9 l'azione si riflette sul soggetto, come un riflesso in uno specchio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tricky part about learning reflexive verbs in Spanish is that most of them aren\u2019t exactly the same in English. For example, a really common verb is \u201cdespertarse\u201d which in English means \u201cto wake up.\u201d In English, you don\u2019t really say \u201cto wake oneself up,\u201d but that\u2019s how it literally translates in Spanish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coniugare i verbi riflessivi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, we have to be able to identify reflexive verbs. Verbs end in -ar, -er or -ir, but reflexive verbs will have a -se at the end of them. Looking at \u201cdespertarse,\u201d we see the -ar ending in \u201cdespertar\u201d and then the -se ending at the end. This tells us that despertarse is a reflexive verb. This means that we can split reflexive verbs into two parts: il verbo principale<\/a> and the reflexive component \u201c-se.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main verb conjugates just like normal- based on the subject and the tense. However, we have to make sure to conjugate the \u201c-se\u201d too. First, move it to the front of the verb. Then, you\u2019re going to conjugate it based on the subject. Remember, reflexive verbs mean that whoever is doing the action does it to themself.
