They also have two forms, the accusative and the dative. These diminutive pronouns are similar to personal pronouns (ich, du, er, sie, es\u2026) and can be easily memorized like vocabulary. They will help you clarify the relationships between subjects, objects and groups of people without much effort. We have compiled everything you need to know about German reflexive pronouns in a short guide that will show you what German reflexive pronouns are, as well as when and how to use them. We&#8217;ll finish with a chart of reflexive pronoun declensions and a list of commonly used reflexive verbs for a quick start.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/german-language-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to join the Entri online German language course!

If it comes with a name, it will identify it. Nouns that can be identified or substituted can be the subject or object of a sentence.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of reflexive pronouns, they refer to the subject of the sentence (see Latin Reflectere = return to). This again places them in a close relationship with verbs, which are governed by the subject. So, if we want to fully understand reflexive pronouns, we need to consider the subject, the verb, and how the pronoun connects them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reflexive_verbs_in_German\"><\/span><strong>Reflexive verbs in German<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reflexive verbs are verbs whose direct object is the same as the subject. This object takes the form of a reflexive pronoun that refers to the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIch wundere mich.\u201d \u2013 I wonder (literally: myself).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht sich.\u201d \u2013 He washes himself.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the examples, English also uses reflexive pronouns. These are pronouns that end in -self. As you can also see, verbs can be reflexive in both languages \u200b\u200bor just in one language. So if a verb is reflexive in English, this may also prompt you to use a reflexive pronoun with it in German, but there are no guarantees. The best way to master reflexive verbs and know when to use reflexive pronouns in German is to memorize German reflexive verbs when studying vocabulary. We recognize reflexive verbs in German by the pronoun sich (oneself) before the infinitive:<\/p>\n<p>\u201csich wundern\u201d \u2013 to wonder (oneself)<\/p>\n<p>\u201csich waschen\u201d \u2013 to wash (oneself)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_use_reflexive_pronouns_in_German\"><\/span><strong>When to use reflexive pronouns in German ?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you look closely at the two examples above, you will see that there is no other way to use\u00a0 sich wundern \u2013 to wonder. You can&#8217;t ask anyone else. If someone is wondering about something because of you and you want to be the subject of the sentence, you should use a different verb: In English, it would be to stupefier (You surprise me all the time) , in German you would use erstaunen ( You will have to do that sooner). Both take an object different from the subject. If we look at the second example, you&#8217;ll see that you can bathe yourself, someone else, or something else:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht sich.\u201d \u2013 He washes himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht den Salat.\u201d \u2013 He washes the lettuce.<\/p>\n<p>A special form of reflexive verbs are reciprocal verbs, where the reflexive pronouns define the relation of members of a group to each other:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDie vier Freunde verstanden sich gut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The four friends got along well (with each other).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>True reflexive pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the case of verbs like sich wundern, we are talking about true reflexive verbs with true reflexive pronouns. These verbs cannot take an object other than a reflexive pronoun indicating the subject.<br \/>\nIndeed, reflexive pronouns are part of verbs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Optional reflexive pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the case of verbs like (<em>sich<\/em>)\u00a0<em>waschen<\/em>, we speak of optional reflexive verbs with optional reflexive pronouns. Instead of the reflexive pronoun referring back to the subject, the object can be something else, for example the lettuce mentioned above, taking the accusative case:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht den Salat\u201d. \u2013 He washes the lettuce.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/german-language-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to join the Entri online German language course!

To do this, find out who or what is directly impacted. If it is the same as the subject, use a reflexive pronoun in the accusative case:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht sich.\u201d \u2013 He washes himself.<\/p>\n<p>If the direct object is different from the subject, omit the reflexive pronoun:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht den Salat.\u201d \u2013 He washes the lettuce.<\/p>\n<p>You can add a possessive relationship by using a possessive pronoun:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht seinen Salat.\u201d \u2013 He washes his lettuce.<\/p>\n<p>You can also specify a relationship between the subject (he) and &#8216;object (lettuce) by adding a reflexive pronoun in the dative:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht sich einen Salat.\u201d \u2013 He washes lettuce for himself<\/p>\n<p>Note: When you use a reflexive pronoun in the dative, you are not using a pronoun possessive with direct object. You cannot say:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEr w\u00e4scht sich seinen Salat.\u201d \u2013 He washes his lettuce for himself. (wrong!)<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, this topic is quite simple and can help you improve your language skills even at the beginning of your language learning journey.<\/p>\n<p>When using reflexive pronouns, also pay attention to word order. Reflexive pronoun following a conjugated verb form, if the verb consists of more than one word, for example in the past perfect or future tense:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cIch wasche mich.\u201d \u2013 I wash myself.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIch habe mich gewaschen.\u201d \u2013 I have washed myself.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIch werde mich waschen.\u201d \u2013 I will wash myself.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIch wasche mir einen Apfel.\u201d \u2013 I wash an apple for myself.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIch habe mir einen Apfel gewaschen.\u201d \u2013 I have washed\u00a0 an apple for myself.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIch werde mir einen Apfel waschen.\u201d \u2013 I will wash an apple for myself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"At-a-glance:-German-reflexive-pronouns-chart\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_a_glance_German_reflexive_pronouns_chart\"><\/span><strong>At a glance: German reflexive pronouns chart<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have learned how and when to use reflexive pronouns and reflexive verbs in German, you need to learn the pronouns themselves and how to declension them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chart of German reflexive pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><strong>Dativ\/dative<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Akkusativ\/accusative<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Ich (I)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>mir<\/td>\n<td>mich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Du (you)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>dir<\/td>\n<td>dich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>er\/sie\/es (he\/she\/it)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Sie (you singular formal)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>wir (we)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>uns<\/td>\n<td>uns<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>ihr (you)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>euch<\/td>\n<td>euch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>sie (they)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Sie (you plural formal)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<td>sich<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Finally, we want to give you a list of commonly used reflexive verbs in German:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201csich erk\u00e4lten\u201d \u2013 to get a cold<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich ausruhen\u201d \u2013 to rest<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich sch\u00e4men\u201d \u2013 to be embarrassed, to be ashamed<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich sorgen um\u201d \u2013 to be worried about<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich k\u00fcmmern um\u201d \u2013 to look after<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich verstehen\u201d \u2013 to get along<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich verabschieden\u201d \u2013 to say goodbye<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich irren\u201d \u2013 to err<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich bewerben auf\/f\u00fcr\u201d \u2013 to apply for<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich bedanken bei\u201d \u2013 to thank someone<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich beklagen\u201d \u2013 to complain<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich weigern\u201d \u2013 to refuse<\/li>\n<li>\u201csich befinden\u201d \u2013 to be located<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/german-language-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to join the Entri online German language course!
