Talk:Reflexive pronoun

message: Okay...so this page already has a ton of example languages. But I noticed there is a lot of representation of closely-related European languages and no Austronesian examples whatsoever. Malayo-Polynesian languages of Indonesia often seem to be pretty weird with respect to reflexives...so maybe worth including? There are many sources on reflexives in Malay languages, Balinese, Javanese, etc. BlakeALee (talk) 21:07, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

message: How can two things be "exactly similar in meaning but not in use"? At the very least I'd like to see some elaboration of that claim. 24.20.220.254 (talk) 05:45, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

:"reflexives with discourse antecedents are often referred to as "logophors"."

thread_title: Remove Esperanto Examples?

message: The section on Portuguese was clearly writen by a Brasilian, without any regard for (or knowledge of?) how the language is used on this side of the Atlantic. Even the verb used in the examples - machucar - although very common in Brasil, is almost never used albeit undestood in Portugal. Back to the point, reflexives have a very different construction in European Portuguese, which usually places the pronoun after the verb, separated by a hifen. Thus: vestir-me (I get myself dressed, put on clothes on myself), lavou-se (washed himself, herself), levantámo-nos (we stood up ourselves) etc. Someone should point out this difference and put some examples on the main page, and btw also trim down the brasilian examples to proper balance with the other languages; it is obviously too long.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.81.3.12 (talk) 01:04, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: European Portuguese examples?

message: I notice that example German sentences are not included in this article... do you mind if I write some sample German sentences (using reflexive pronouns) of course :)

thread_title: German?

message: I've just come to this page because it was listed at :Category:Uncategorized_from_March_2008 which seemed surprising for a standard sort of topic. Looking at the page, it seems that an anon editor removed most of it in a series of edits on 24 feb 2008, including all the bottom matter such as the category.  The interwiki links had been replaced since then, and Icelandic and Latin sections added.  I've replaced what was deleted, and put the languages into an A-Z sequence, and done a couple of little tweaks to help.  Also simplified the hatnote, as Myself (band) has been deleted. Hope I haven't trodden on any toes! PamD (talk) 16:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  major surgery 

message: "Moi-même" etc are here claimed to be the reflexive pronouns of French, but se is also a refelxive pronoun and even the only true reflexive pronoun: "Il se lave" - "He washes himself". I think moi-même etc are rather intesifying pronouns: "Ja l'ai fait moi-même" - "I did it myself".
N'est-ce pas?

message: I wonder if the reflexive applies to indirect objects as well as direct ones.  
eg.  "I want to learn about the world around me." or "I want to learn about the world around myself". 
Ought the Hanna Montana song "we got the party with us." to be "we got the party with ourselves?" Pine (talk) 22:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "In some languages, this distinction includes genitive forms: see, for instance, the Swedish examples below."
I searched with Ctrl+F, and found nothing Swedish =/. Should there be any? Sweed Raver (talk) 19:15, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Some proud Dane translated the Swedish examples to Danish for no particular reason some time ago. Linguistically, the sentences are nearly identical, so I can't see any other reason for the edit than national pride. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 16:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
