In this lesson, you will learn how to use reflexive pronouns in Swedish. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same. For example, "I wash myself" or "She dresses herself."
Formation[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
In Swedish, reflexive pronouns are formed by adding "-sig" to the end of the personal pronoun. The following table shows the reflexive pronouns for each personal pronoun.
Swedish | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
---|---|---|
Jag (I) | /jɑːɡ sɪɡ/ | Mən (Mənim özümü) |
Du (You) | /duː sɪɡ/ | Sən (Sənin özünü) |
Han (He) | /hɑːn sɪɡ/ | O (Özünü) |
Hon (She) | /hɔn sɪɡ/ | O (Özünü) |
Den (It) | /deːn sɪɡ/ | O (Özünü) |
Vi (We) | /viː sɪɡ/ | Biz (Bizim özümüzü) |
Ni (You all) | /niː sɪɡ/ | Siz (Sizin özünüzü) |
De (They) | /deː sɪɡ/ | Onlar (Özünə) |
Usage[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
Reflexive pronouns are used in a variety of situations in Swedish. Here are some common examples:
- To describe actions that someone does to themselves, such as "I wash myself" (Jag tvättar mig).
- To describe reciprocal actions, where two or more people are doing the same thing to each other, such as "They hugged each other" (De kramade varandra).
- To describe emotions or sensations that someone experiences, such as "She feels proud of herself" (Hon känner sig stolt).
- To describe actions that someone does without thinking, such as "He cut himself" (Han skar sig).
Word Order[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
In Swedish, reflexive pronouns usually come directly after the verb. For example:
- I wash myself = Jag tvättar mig
- She feels proud of herself = Hon känner sig stolt
However, in some cases, reflexive pronouns can come after a preposition, such as "med" (with) or "på" (on). For example:
- He put the hat on himself = Han satte på sig hatten.
- She went to the party with herself = Hon gick på festen med sig själv.
Conclusion[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
