Another extremely informative video describing a very hard to master topic on reflexive verbs. I hope you didn't have any issues with getting this one remembered.

ся=себя Fedor just blew my mind!

Yes, because in old Russian people used to say "ся" instead of "себя", and "тя" instead of "тебя". It is still in use in Orthodox church texts and prayers.

You showed the keyword себя at the end and everything got whole alotta easier. When you're teaching russian you also teach meanings of roots unlike others just Making you try to remember all with no reason. That's why i know you're the best russian teacher in youtube.

I have just recently started learning Russian and this video has been so helpful. I could not figure out why, in the exercises a word spelling would change and the СЯ would replace the former ending of the word from the lesson. It was very frustrating when the lesson did not explain the reason for the spelling change. Really clears things up! Thankful to have found your videos. You are pretty clear and concise in your explanations.

oh my god Fedor, thank you so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very informative. thanks!
Great lesson. It may have been 5 years since posting these, but they’re still helpful to people just starting to study Russian. I connect so much with learning the logic behind the language, and feel comforted when a native speaker can assure you there’s no logic to be found and that you just need to go with it (like your take on the neuter gender in the video on gendered nouns). English has so much of that, it would be hypocritical to expect other languages to use the most efficient and unbroken rules.
That was explained simply and clearly, and I will be using this information in the near future.

Hello Fedor. First off, thank you for the superb lessons, they are really helping me take my Russian to the next level. I will get myself another keyboard with the Russian layout sometime soon. Btw, which is the more "common" layout, why are there two totally different layouts? Being Slavic myself (Slovenian), I have noticed the -СЯ very soon because for me it was just another proof of how Russians really like to keep things simple. And I love it :D To quickly elaborate, in Slovenian we say reflexive verbs the SAME WAY, only that we write the auxiliary (is this the correct term?) verb separately from the verb itself. Example: Oblačim se. (I am getting dressed). "Se" is short for "sebe" (oneself). So you were right in believing what you did :D This has been one of the key factors that tipped my scale to start investing time in learning Russian. I find the simplicity of it, writing and considering it as one single word, simply (haha) pleasing. There are other examples like this as well. Kind regards, lep pozdrav!

In Spanish, it is equivalent to reflexive verbs ending in "-se." For example: "Vestirse" (to dress oneself). "Estoy vistiéndome" or "Me estoy vistiendo" (I'm dressing myself). In this case, "-me" or "me" is the reflexive. As you can see, we can put the reflexive in the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the reflexive verb.
thank you very much, this is very helpful! :)
Спасибо тебе за помощь. Из Индии 🇮🇳
great video as usual..
Thanks this was very helpful, I was wondering what the verbs ending in Ся were about. Today is my sixth day learning russian and so far I have (mostly) memorized 250 words.
So it can be the Russian equivalent of zich/zichzelf in Dutch? This is helpful, спасибо!
Well done!
ся is something near "self" i guess. But not it exactly. Also here mb someone need: "Себя" or "Меня" - myself (difference: себя is when i do something with myself like "я помыл(have wash) себя" or someone do something with himself "он помыл себя" ; меня is when someone do something to ME only "он накормил (has feed) меня") So in most cases "ся" is reduction from "себя". "Я помылся" or "Он помылся" has same value with "Я помыл себя" or "Он помыл себя". But still ся not always mean себя... Its really hard to explain tho... Really.
Bloody amazing. The penny has dropped. How old is this guy? He’s a great teacher!
Great video
Hi, could you make top 25 most commonly used reflexive words/verbs.
Fedor these videos are simply wonderful. I would like to suggest to you that your explain intransitive verb category 2 as being like what is known as passive voice. The door was opened, the csr was driven, the ship was sunk etc. in which we either do not know who is doing the action or do not wish to state it. So no subject = no identifiable agent acting on the object. But, another example of the wonderful subtlety of language, if you say “the ship was sunk”, it means that it was definitely caused by something, if you say “the ship sank”, it is a little different. Clearly there must have been a cause, but you are referring to just the physical action of the ship. In general is the relexive suffix the way passive voice is handled in russian?
Thank you soo mcuh

Привет !) сможешь рассказать о глаголе СВ и НСВ ? Я начал заниматься русском 7 месяцев назад
Many strange situation in some language You can understand in retrospect. If You'll find some very old notes in old Russian language, You can find "ся" not like part of words, but like single word after verbs. Ся was is old short form of modern word себя.
Question: In English, we can say, "I'm thinking". There is no object in this case. But in Russian, is it not acceptable to say simply, "Я думаю"? Why is this is not in a reflexive form? Thanks.

I have two questions, 1) How do you know whether ся is referring to ones self or an ongoing process? From what I can tell they are the same, so context is needed. 2) What if you wanted to omit the object but then would adding ся change it? For instance, я вижу, because it does not have an object, do I need to add ся? Thanks!
This is an amazing explanation! I love your videos, they always make learning Russian so much easier! I do have a question though. Would the sentence я думаю тебя ошибается be correct? I just want to make sure because I made this sentence on my own and if I made a mistake I'd want to fix it immediately so I don't make it again in the future.

I'm pretty sure there are two options. Either "Я думаю, тебя ошибается" with a coma. I'm not exactly sure if this one would be correct though. I know for sure "Я думаю, что тебя ошибается" is correct

@@starvationthatsit8303 My comment is late for 8 months. "Я думаю, тебя ошибается" is incorrect. "Я думаю, (что) ты ошибаешься" - this is right one. It is complex sentense in Russian. Principal clause - "Я думаю / I`m thinking" , then coma and connecting word "(что)/that", then subordinate clause "ты ошибаешься / you`re wrong" . Connecting word can often be dropped out and replaced by pause in oral speech.

I understand what you're trying to explain However I've heard this in a song: "Сам директор закупался у меня." Does 'у меня' have any effect on 'ся'? Or does 'сам' automatically qualify for the verb to have 'ся'?

Is it possible to turn a verb into reflexive by changing the ending? Or is their a set group of verbs that just happen to be reflexive?
@bonbonpony
6 жыл бұрын
I think that there might be some exceptions. E.g. "Я пеюсь" may sound odd, because it would imply that you are singing yourself, which isn't quite possible, because singing is usually done to something, e.g. a song. If you cannot sing someone, you also cannot sing yourself :q Unless it would mean something in the lines of "I'm singing to myself". But we need a native speaker to resolve that issue, because I'm just guessing here.

What you say is non relevant to this video. тесь из different part of grammar. Вы занимаетесь - you study (you are studying). Она занимается - she is studying (studies). Non of them is self reflexive. Но ей кажется, мне кажется, ему кажется - self reflexive (it seems to her, it seems to me, it seems to him). Как вы видите, ключевую роль чтобы определить является ли глагол self reflexive играет форма местоимения.

When I'm speaking English I'm not wondering if i should use reflexive verbs or a dative case. So when trying to learn Russian, these concepts are scholastic baggage. How did I know how to say it right in English? When I hear things said wrong in English, I'm not thinking it was a wrong reflexive verb or dative case faux pas, IT JUST SOUNDS WRONG. Because patterning and repetition drummed it in.
