Russian - Reflexive & Possessive Reflexive Pronouns Explained

Описание: In this video, I explain reflexive and possessive reflexive pronouns in Russian. I begin by explaining the simple reflexive pronoun себя which is used when a pronoun is the same person or thing as the subject. Cебя means “self,” as in myself, yourself, etc, and is affected by the 6 cases but not by gender or plurality (ex. Я вижу себя - I see myself). This pronoun is fairly simple to remember and understand because it’s used for any pronoun and subject. Then, I explain the possessive reflexive pronoun свой which is affected by the 6 cases, gender, and plurality. This pronoun means “(any)one’s own” which acts more as a possessive determiner that specifies “one’s own” object (ex. Я вижу свой дом - I see my [own] house). Cвой is also used for any subject but is very different from normal possessive pronouns. In the video, I present every single gender, case, and plurality under which every pronoun is affected, along with many examples that show when to use them. Though it may seem like a lot, many possessive reflexive pronouns are borrowed from each other, so there isn’t anything difficult with these pronouns. More is explained in the video.
