Reflexive verbs

A reflexive verb requires a reflexive pronoun when it refers to an action affecting the subject of the sentence. Generally, the same verb can also be used non-reflexively, if it refers to an action affecting someone or something other than the subject. The reflexive pronoun can be either in the accusative or dative case, depending upon its function in the sentence.
