REFLEXIVE VERBS IN RUSSIAN: -СЬ / -СЯ #learnrussian #russiangrammar #easyrussian #russianlanguage

Reflexive verbs in Russian. Russian reflexive verbs always end in "sya", which essentially means "self" or "one-self". And they generally express an action directed at oneself or the speaker. For example, "a divat" means "to dress". "я a деваю дочь", I'm dressing my daughter. But if we add "sya" to it, then it becomes reflexive. "a деваться", which literally means "to dress oneself" or "to get dressed". "я a деваюсь", I get dressed or literally I dress myself. So how do you conjugate a reflexive verb? Very easy. Just drop the "sya", conjugate the verb normally, and then add the "sya" to the conjugated form. But there is one rule. If the conjugated form ends in a vowel, then "sya" becomes "sya". So let's conjugate "a деваться". "я a деваю", and since our conjugated form ends in a vowel, then when we add the "sya", we actually make it "sya". So "я a деваюсь", I dress myself or I get dressed. "Ты a деваешь ся", so the "Ты" form does not end in a vowel, so we just add "sya" to it. "Ты a деваешься" is "you get dressed". "He gets dressed" or "he dresses himself". "Он a девает ся", we get dressed. "Мы a деваем ся". "I'll get dressed", "вы одевая те ся". So again, "одевая те" ends in a vowel, so "sya" becomes "ся". And then they get dressed is " Они одевают ся". For example, "Утром я одеваюсь после завтрака". In the morning, I get dressed after breakfast. "А ты одеваешься" до или после завтрака?
