Reflecting on reflexive verbs Conversa blog

反思反身动词

At the very beginning of your Spanish classes, you probably learned “Me llamo…” to say “My name is…” but did you know it literally translates to “I call myself”? 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’ll explain them more here.

什么是反身动词?

这些是动词,其中执行动作的人也是接受动作的人。大多数动词都有一个主语,即执行动作的主语,以及一个接收动作的宾语。在很多情况下,主语和宾语是不同的。在反身动词的情况下,你自己做动作。你可以认为它们是自反的 因为动作会反射回主体,就像镜子中的反射一样。

The tricky part about learning reflexive verbs in Spanish is that most of them aren’t exactly the same in English. For example, a really common verb is “despertarse” which in English means “to wake up.” In English, you don’t really say “to wake oneself up,” but that’s how it literally translates in Spanish.

共轭反身动词

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 “despertarse,” we see the -ar ending in “despertar” 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: 主要动词 and the reflexive component “-se.”

The main verb conjugates just like normal- based on the subject and the tense. However, we have to make sure to conjugate the “-se” too. First, move it to the front of the verb. Then, you’re going to conjugate it based on the subject. Remember, reflexive verbs mean that whoever is doing the action does it to themself. There are 6 reflexive pronouns that you need to know. We’ll show you them along, and in context of the verb 醒来。

一世 一世 -> 我醒了

您的 -> 你醒来

他她你 我知道 -> 醒来

我们 我们 -> 我们醒来

-> 你醒来

他们,他们,你 我知道 -> 他们醒了
