Everyday actions and routines: using singular verbs reflexively

Using exclamations to give conversational reactions can make our German sound more natural. Many verbs can be used reflexively to show the action is being done to oneself, e.g., 'sich waschen' - 'to have a wash'. The meaning of a verb may change slightly when used reflexively, e.g., 'Sie setzt sie/sich hin': She puts her/sits down. Reflexive pronouns are 'mich' myself, 'dich' yourself and 'sich' him/her/itself. 'Mich/dich' also mean 'me/you'. Context is important when understanding the intended meaning of pronouns like 'mich' and 'dich'.
