Reflexive verbs


Verbtime uses the rules listed here to build reflexive verbs.

  1. Reflexive verbs are always built with essere!
  2. Verbtime recognises reflexive verbs from the syntax: verb + si, e.g. lavarsi (the verb’s ending "e" is omitted, means "lavarsi" and not "lavaresi").
  3. Generally spoken the following building scheme is valid for all reflexive verbs:

    Simple tenses:

    
            Singular I     mi + [Verb]
            Singular II    ti + [Verb]
            Singular III   si + [Verb]
            Plural I       ci + [Verb]
            Plural II      vi + [Verb]
            Plural III     si + [Verb]
            

    Simple tenses are built by combining the self pronoun with the conjugated verb.

    Example: Indicativo, Presente, singular I of "lavarsi" = mi lavo


    Composed tenses:

    
            Singular I     mi + [essere] + Participio Passato (Verb)
            Singular II    ti + [essere] + Participio Passato (Verb)
            Singular III   si + [essere] + Participio Passato (Verb)
            Plural I       ci + [essere] + Participio Passato (Verb)
            Plural II      vi + [essere] + Participio Passato (Verb)
            Plural III     si + [essere] + Participio Passato (Verb)
            

    Composed tenses are built by combining the self pronoun with the conjugated form of the auxiliary verb "essere" and the Participio Passato of the verb.

    Example: Indicativo, Passato Prossimo, singular I of "lavarsi" = mi sono lavato


    Valid for the Imperativo:

    
            Singular I     -
            Singular II    [Verb] + ti
            Singular III   si + [Verb]
            Plural I       [Verb] + ci
            Plural II      [Verb] + vi 
            Plural III     si + [Verb]
            

    The self pronoun is directly attached to the conjugated verb for singular II, singular III and plural III.

    Example: Imperativo, plural II of "sbrigharsi" = sbrighiamo + ci = sbrighiamoci
