​Reflexiv Verben

German has some verbs that require a reflexive pronoun to complete a sentence.

​

“Reflexive” simply means that the pronoun refers back to the subject of the sentence.

​

We do this in English, too, although German has many more reflexive verbs than English.

​Beispiele
  • ​Ich wasche das Auto.

  • ​Ich wasche mir.

  • ​I am washing the car.

  • ​I am washing myself.

​Beispiele
  • ​Ich ziehe mich an.

  • ​Ich schminke mich.

  • ​Ich rasiere mich.

  • ​Ich entspanne mich.

  • ​I am getting dressed.

  • ​I am putting makeup on.

  • ​I am shaving.

  • ​I am relaxing.

  • These verbs do not form complete sentences without an object for our purposes, the reflexive pronoun.

  • ​“Ich ziehe an” does not make any sense in German, because it’s not stated WHAT you’re putting clothes onto.

​Many reflexive verbs in German take accusative reflexive pronouns. Quite simply, these pronouns function as direct objects in the sentence. What am I washing? Myself, so: Ich wasche mich. If the action of the verb reflects directly back to the subject, then the reflexive pronoun will be accusative.

​

​

Some reflexive verbs, though, require a dative reflexive pronoun. These pronouns function as indirect objects, because there is some other element in the sentence that is the direct object. Most often, the direct object is a body part or piece of clothing that belongs to the subject.
